Annie, I Owe You a Dance

I was running late again

Picking up a few things

And there you were on aisle 13

I felt that old rush

When you saw me you blushed

Like you did when you were sweet 16

They said you looked lost on the dance floor

With a lonely look in your eyes

Don't know why I didn't show

To this day I still don't know

For once I wish I hadn’t thought twice

Then your folks split up

And you moved to colorado

And I headed out to tennessee

Heard you got married

And you moved back home

Here we are again you and me

It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes

Shines like the ring on your hand

Annie, I owe you a dance

Don't the years fly by

In the blink of an eye

Yeah loves I had a few

I've been in a million places

And I've seen a million faces

But I couldn't stop thinking about you

Remember how we talked for hours

Keeping each others secrets

Made a promise I'd take you to homecoming

But annie I didn't keep it

Almost called you up

When I played in boulder

But I thought I’d just let it be

Heard you found yourself a real good man

Do you ever think of you and me?

It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes

Shines like the ring on your hand

Annie, I owe you a dance

So put your groceries in the basket

I'm so sorry now I'm asking

Like I should have 20 years ago

And I know it's all over

I'm just looking for some closure

And there's a song on the radio

You give me your hand

And we start to dance

The cashier gives us a smile

As you turn and walk away

I hear your little girl say

“Mama who was that guy?”

Shouldn’t be surprised

The forgiveness in your eyes

Gave me a second chance

Annie, thanks for the dance
