(Jerry Jeff Walker) As the morning light stretched in across my bed I thought of you Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said I love you too As all my thoughts of you pa** 'fore my face a thousand times The way they race my heart I cannot say it all in lines How the short time together lasts so long Makes me strong As two weeks came and went then you and I were gone Living on For it seems our love was destined to be caught in other nets But the love we held so brief I'd chance again without regret Yes, standing by the road has been my song before Much too long But now somehow I'm forced to see me there once more And that's the song For my waking thoughts of you are but extensions of the dream Without you here beside me I'll never know all that they mean Repeat First Verse
