As he walked out the door, he turned around
and smiled,
The moon was shining brightly, in the
February sky,
He said I’ll call you when I get home, so
you’ll know I’m okay,
She smiled back and she said to him… I love
you baby.
She watched him drive away, holding herself
tight,
She shut the door, smiled and said he’ll be
alright.
He was a country boy, grew up in the snow,
Black ice and freezing rain, well, he’d just drive slow.
She lay down on the couch, near the phone
and she smiled,
They’d been together about a half a year,
side by side,
He’s been hinting lately, about asking for
her hand,
She was a shy girl, but ready for this man,
She had a son, just seven years old,
The man and the boy were already good
friends.
She was smiling still, when her eyes closed,
and she slept,
But she woke up cold, in her dreams she’d
wept.
The phone never rang, she’d waited all
night,
She woke up alone, he was gone, never again
would he hold her tight.
She was crying so hard,
She’d never felt this pain,
She didn’t know what to do, who to call,
She wanted him so badly.
She was kneeling by the couch,
Her eyes filled, her heart done,
The phone rang and she grabbed it,
She yelled please be my man.
He said baby, are you okay?
I just got here, it was nasty, I’ll turn
around and come back,
If you need me.
She couldn’t talk, she just cried,
And when words finally came,
She said please, please baby, don’t drive,
Don’t leave me again.
She said please, please baby, don’t drive,
Never leave me again.
Never leave me again.
