Song Description

Loneliness, watching the sunrise in Texas bringing memories of his lost love and regret that he never was able to voice his true feelings when they were together. And, finally, wondering if she might be having some of the same feelings.

Lyrics

Seems like a long time since I've seen you,
Can't get you out of my head,
Thinking of how we'd wake up to the breaking light,
Lying there watching, nothing said.

I know I really shouldn't oughta
Be lookin' toward the Arkansas border...

To see a TEXAS SUNRISE,
A beautiful TEXAS SUNRISE,
'Cause I get that empty feeling,
Thinking of you, and wishing that you
Were back here with me, and again we could see
Another beautiful shining TEXAS SUNRISE.

I can't help wishing I'd been able
To give you more of a taste
Of what I was feeling, watching those bright golden rays
Casting long shadows 'cross your face.

I know I really shouldn't oughta
Be lookin' toward the Arkansas border...

To see a TEXAS SUNRISE,
A beautiful TEXAS SUNRISE,
'Cause I get that empty feeling,
Thinking of you, and wishing that you
Were back here with me, and again we could see
Another beautiful shining TEXAS SUNRISE.

Never was too good at communicating,
But I know I was really good at appreciating
The warmth of you and the touch of your hair,
And starting the day knowing you were there.

When I see a TEXAS SUNRISE,
A beautiful TEXAS SUNRISE,
I still get that empty feeling,
And I wonder, might you be thinkin'....
If you were back here with me, together we'd see
Another beautiful shining TEXAS SUNRISE.
