Alan Jackson - When I Saw You Leaving Lyrics
Ain't it funny how, one minute, your whole life's looking fineAnd a short few words later it all just comes untied?You can't believe you're looking at what was always someone elseNow it's staring right there at you, yesterday you couldn't tellSo shocked and dissolutioned, helpless and confusedNot knowing how or what to say, not accepting that it's true.You can't help but see the worst to come a thousand different waysAt the same time trying to hold a strong and optimistic gaze.When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leavingWhen I saw you leaving in my mind.And the anger starts to surface, looking up, asking whyAnd you realize He probably wants the best, the same as IThe days just go by quickly, nights just never endAs time gets so more precious, every sunrise and old friendTrying to be a post to lean on, a part you learn that's hard to playAsking God to let you take her place or just take it all away.Hope you'll wake up in the morning, it's all just been a dreamYou'll never take for granted every second that you breathe.When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leavingWhen I saw you leaving in my mind.Then the seconds turn to minutesThe minutes wouldn't lastAnd the hours, days and weeks and monthsSeem endless and too fastAnd the blessings pour from heavenLike the rain on that first springSince that moment I first thoughtYou might not always be with me.When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leavingWhen I saw you leaving in my mind.Ain't it funny how, in a minute, your whole life's looking fineAnd a short few words later it all just comes untied?
