I have spent my time in goin' never carin' never knowin' Just what it was I might be goin' to And I'd planned on leavin' you the same just up and go the way I came But you may have noticed I'm still here with you Yes there's one sweet reason Why you're yet to see me leavin' Just one thing between here and gone And it's wrapped up in your smile And a pair of blue green eyes And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow Any number of a hundred things would send me down that road But there's one sweet reason I don't go I've run from ties I've cut my strings I've unlocked doors I've broken chains
Fading like a shadow in the dawn When other loves have turned to clay I've turned my back and walked away And you should be the next to find me gone Yes there's one sweet reason why you're yet to see me leavin'... Now I find no need in goin' From the sweet love I've been knowin' To the restless ways and days that I once knew For more and more I've looked to find When leavin' creeps across my mind It's lost in all the days I've spent with you Yes there's one sweet reason why you're yet to see me leavin'... You're the one sweet reason I don't go
