Well, I've lived here all my life Don't know why I'm still surprised That the sunset comes so early to this valley And if I'm not on my toes The twilight comes and goes And I'm all alone with darkness all around me
If I could see your face again Black with coal until your grin Cuts like sunshine through the shadow of the mountain I'd drop everything and run Like I know I shoulda done Every time you come home to me in the evenin'
Tonight's just like the night before Ain't nobody walkin' through that door
If I could touch you one more time Just to hold your hand in mine I'd never let it go again, I promise And maybe we would find a town Dreams aren't buried underground And not so many ghosts around to haunt us
And every breath was not a prayer Until I turn around to find you there
If I could see your face again And I knew what I know then I wouldn't make you work so hard to win me I'd surrender to your arms Wrapped around me safe and warm 'Cause I knew you were the one from the beginning
And I'd give almost anything If I could only see your face again
