| I saw you leanin' on a memory
|
| With your back turned to the crowd
|
| In that little bar on Murphy
|
| Where they play guitar too loud
|
| There were people drinkin' whiskey
|
| There were hearts about to leave
|
| It was cold as hell for Houston
|
| It was almost New Years Eve
|
| All the way from Beaumont
|
| With a white rose in my hand
|
| I could not wait forever babe, I hope you understand
|
| The night was feelin' lucky
|
| So I asked you to dance
|
| And the way you looked up at me
|
| Made me think I had a chance
|
| But when I put my arms around you
|
| I knew you weren’t givin' in
|
| I hope it will be different if I pass this way again
|
| All the way from Beaumont
|
| With a white rose in my hand I could not wait
|
| Forever babe, I hope you understand
|
| I walked the road to get here
|
| With a guitar and a case
|
| I’d of stopped in Pasadena
|
| If I’d known about this place
|
| But you looked like forever
|
| Where the water meets the shore
|
| I’ve been thinkin' about you, baby
|
| I can’t do that anymore
|
| I saw you leanin' on a memory
|
| With your back turned to the crowd
|
| In that little bar on Murphy
|
| Where they play guitar too loud
|
| There were people drinkin' whiskey
|
| There were hearts about to leave
|
| It was cold as hell for Houston
|
| It was almost New Years Eve
|
| All the way from Beaumont
|
| With a white rose in my hand |
