Texas darling,
Smile for me a simple grin,
from ear to ear now, while calloused fingers candle that old guitar.
Though no one will know who we are,
They'll see we're in love from afar,
Oh yes we are.
Texas darling,
Play me something I'll remember,
When the sun comes up again,
and it's beauteous melody lingers in the wind.
Frayed will be the memories, but in the end, we'll know how it began.
And Texas darling,
That angelic temper in your eye,
Tells the story, of a love almost lost to stupid reasons and the fall,
That brought them closer than us all...
And though the distance is far and wide,
We'll make each day another ride
The roller coaster of life has to give.
And maybe all our yesterdays,
Will give us faith for the day,
In knowing the moment we're closer will soon arrive,
And I'll be by your side.
Texas darling,
My pen's running low on ink,
but in my heart a thousand words will sit, waiting for the day
They will be said.
Waiting and waiting until the end, the end my friend.
Texas darling,
No consonant or vowel will ever be enough, to express my love for you,
There will be no day I will give up,
And maybe forever won't last very long,
but for each day and moment that's come and gone,
I'll be there in your arms forevermore.
And darling I can promise you
An hour won't go by without you, in my every thought and every dream.
& maybe we will be okay, and everything will turn out the way,
It does in old black and white movies with star-crossed lovers in the end.
Texas darling,
I wanted my last words to be from the heart,
But as I write, I can't decide whereabouts I should start.
There's so much I'd like to say, and I want every word to come out the way
it does in love stories between people like you and I.
But every time I seem to try, I end up with a million reasons why
It's never good enough for your sweet ears to hold dear.
