I was running late again, picking up a few things
|
And there you were on isle 13.
|
I felt that old rush, when you saw me you blushed
|
Like you did when you were sweet sixteen.
|
They said you looked lost on the dancefloor,
|
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've had a few.
|
I've been a million places and I've seen a million faces,
|
But I couldn't stop thinking 'bout you.
|
Remember how we'd talk for hours, keeping each other's secrets,
|
Made a promise I'd take you to homecoming,
|
But Annie I didn't keep it.
|
Almost called you up, when I played it bolder,
|
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 twenty 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
|
"Momma, who was that guy?"
|
I shouldn't be surprised, look forgiveness in your eyes,
|
Gave me a second chance.
|
Annie, thanks for the dance.
