Song Description

The singer crosses paths at a country honky tonk with her long lost Great Love.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

From across the years and across the room / I see you standing there
The microphone you hold so close / is a sight too hard to bear
As you sing that lilting love song / I remember yesterday
When we were two young lovers / before you went away

Verse 2:

The years seem to've been hard on you / your eyes no longer shine
Your hair's a little thinner / and with some gray it's much like mine
You've changed a bit and you're showing it / but you're giving it your best
Now take a break and banter / 'cause it's time for a request

Chorus A:

Sing about a heartbreak... and dreams that don't come true
Sing about a lost love... and what ambition's lust can do
Sing about a journey... that leaves a loving heart alone
Sing me that song that sends me home

Verse 3:

For the first few years I watched the charts / I never saw you there
Then I'd read the news from Nashville / your name... the same... nowhere
By then the thoughts were fading / and the dreams had slipped away
Until tonight-- on my own home turf / when your act shows up to play
(So...)

(Repeat Chorus A;)

Bridge:

I figured I'd moved on in life
I thought my heart had healed
But as I watch you standing there
the truth has been revealed
(Now...)

Chorus B:

Sing about my heartbreak / and dreams that don't come true
Sing about our lost lost / and what ambition's lust could do
Sing about your journey / that left my loving heart alone
Sing me that song that sends me home

Tag: Sing me that song that sends me home
