The Song
~
The sound of the ringing phone
Wakes me from my dream
Dreams of times gone by
Long over now it seems
~
The voice on the other end
Takes my breath away
It has been at least three years
Since she walked out on me
~
Sure we talked now and then
But this call was to be different
She asked me about a song
And wondered if I had heard it
~
I said I had not
Then I asked her why
She said listen to it closely
And then began to cry
~
I asked her what was the matter
And she hung up the phone
I went directly to the store
Then I listened to it alone
~
Blake Shelton was the artist
Who said those word I hear
About a man still in love
After his love had left him here
~
The years had not stopped his love
Or the distance that separated them
His love would last forever
He was a man condemned
~
But the last verse caught my attention
When she called him back to let him know
Her heart still belonged to him
Even when she left so long ago
~
I couldnt dial fast enough
To call the love of my life
I heard her voice on the other end
As tears they filled my eyes
~
All I could say was that I love you
And I need you in my life
Please come back to me
And we will make things right
~
I packed everything I owned
And hit the road that day
I couldnt drive fast enough
The whole way I did pray
~
I pulled into the drive
As she rushed out to meet me
In her arms again
Forever there I will be
