Lyrics
WONDERING WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING
I'm lonesome as a hoot owl
On a cold December morn'
I can feel the frost of evening
Chill me to the bone.
A pot of coffee's waiting
On the counter by the sink.
And I'm so full of heartache
I can't even think.
CHORUS
I'm still here and holding on
To all I ever was.
Wondering what tomorrow will bring
And hoping it never comes
It's been a year since you walked out
With the clothes on your back.
The two top dresser drawers still hold
The things I can't seem to pack
My friends all say let it go
There's no looking back
But I can't seem to shake you loose
Or let the past be the past.
CHORUS
I don't want to tell about
All those sleepless nights
I don't want to think about
All those senseless fights
I just want to hold you
And kiss you once again
Feel my body next to yours
The smoothness of your skin.
CHORUS
