Lyrics
When I close my eyes - I dream about you - No your Momma and I - Never followed our promises through - Conceived in love - On a cold December night - How I long to hold you - And hug you - And kiss you - Goodnight -
Your eyes - Burn like the fire in winter - Your smile - Looks like my high school picture - Your curls - Just like your Daddy - Out of control - How I love - The most wonderful girl in the world -
Do the best I can - From five hundred miles away - Dream and pray about you - Sunday - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Everyday - When I hear your voice - On the telephone line - I want to reach out - And hold you - And hug you - And kiss you - Goodnight -
Your eyes - Burn like the fire in winter - Your smile - Looks like my high school picture - Your curls - Just like your Daddy - Out of control - How I love - The most wonderful girl in the world -
One day - Momma will tell you - The reasons we're apart - I hope you understand her - Cause she knows - The nature of my heart - When I close my eyes - I dream about you - One day soon - I'll hold you - And follow my promises through -
Your eyes - Burn like the fire in winter - Your smile - Looks like my high school picture - Your curls - Just like your Daddy - Out of control - How I long - For your security - How I yearn - To hold you next to me - How I love - The most wonderful girl in the world - The most wonderful girl in the world - The most wonderful girl in the world.
