When I was younger
|
I saw my daddy cry
|
And curse at the wind
|
He broke his own heart
|
And I watched as he tried to reassemble it
|
|
And my mama swore
|
That she would never let herself forget
|
And that was the day that I promised
|
I'd never sing of love
|
If it does not exist
|
|
But, darling, you are the only exception
|
But you are the only exception
|
But you are the only exception
|
But you are the only exception
|
|
Well, maybe I know somewhere
|
Deep in my soul
|
That love never lasts
|
And we've got to find other ways
|
To make it alone
|
Or keep a straight face
|
|
And I've always lived like this
|
Keeping a comfortable distance
|
And up until now, I had sworn to myself
|
That I'm content with loneliness
|
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
|
|
Well, you are the only exception
|
Well, you are the only exception
|
Well, you are the only exception
|
Well, you are the only exception
|
|
I've got a tight grip on reality
|
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
|
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
|
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, oh
|
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
You are the only exception
|
And I'm on my way to believing
|
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
|
|

The Only Exception
