Am I allowed to step in your shoes I know you've been sad. Everyone's been blue Just let me see you. I sure miss your smile We've both been lonely. We can kiss for a while Just let me see you You see I've been working at the backdoor galley Don't make much money but I got good stories But the men who go there say they see right through me They talk a lot about life when their big ship comes But the shores are empty and the waters' dirty They talk a lot of big dreams They talk a lot of big dreams But they ain't your dreams So when you come home, dear, swear to God I'll love you I was much too young then. This time I'll be true We'll buy a big house with a great big willow We'll sit upon the green lawn; watch the flowers grow When you come home, dear And this town is dying. All the stores are closing Whole town drinks whiskey startin' early mornin' Everything is changin' Everyone is changin' I've been thinkin' bout leavin' But I must stop thinkin' Becuase I lost myself We'll stay up all night just telling stories. Like we did before, dear, any of this happened They'll hear us laughing. And everywhere that we go they'll see us smiling And holding hands, too, Guess I still love you, I want the world to know, That I still love you, I want the world to know, That I still love you, I want the world to know, That I still love you, that I still love you. That I still love you So am I allowed to step in your shoes, I know you've been sad. Everyone's been blue. Just let me see you. I sure miss your smile, We've both been lonely. We can kiss for a while, Just let me see you. I want the world to know, That I still love you, I want the world to know, That I still love you, I want the world to know, That I still love you, that I still love you.
