I was drivin back from Houston
wishin you were with me
your smiling face and loving eyes
were thoughts that made me lonely
I thought how your voice consoles me
so I gave a hiking girl a ride
just someone to talk to
a young girl nothing like you
but someone must have seen her by my side

Now I come home and feel alone
your haunting piano cuts the air
and beneath our wedding picture
I sit in my favorite chair

But you're only playin sad songs
thinking everything has changed
and in your frozen stare
I miss your eyes that used to flame.

Baby please believe me
there's been no one but you
through all the years we shared our faith.
I know you think I've wronged you
I see a deep hurt in your eyes
girl my heart's about to break.
I been wishin there was some way
to prove that I haven't changed
so you could see beyond the rumored lies

But I come home and feel alone
your haunting piano cuts the air
and beneath our wedding picture
I sit in my favorite chair

But you're only playin sad songs
thinkin everything has changed
and in your frozen stare
I miss your eyes that used to flame.
