Tony Christie - Drive Safely Darlin' lyrics

Outside a storm was blowin' And the rain was whippin' down But she'd set her mind on going To visit out of town Give my love to your mum and dad I said As i kissed her at the door And the words came automatically Like a thousand times before Drive safely darlin' There's a long long road ahead And the weatherman says the freezing rain may turn to snow Mind how you go Drive safely darlin' Mind how you go Drive safely darlin' It was kinda fun without her Just being on my own But as usual by the evening I was wishing she was home And I thought to myself when she gets back I'll show her how I care And on that god forsaken night I said me a little prayer Drive safely darlin' There's a long long road ahead And the weatherman says the freezing rain may turn to snow Mind how you go Drive safely darlin' Mind how you go Drive safely darlin' Well I waited and I worried As the long night dragged on by And I thought my prayers where answered When a car drew up outside But a stranger stood there by the door And I knew it at a glance He said There's been an accident She didn't stand a chance Drive safely darlin' That was our last goodbye Till the day I die I'll wonder why I let her go In the wind and snow Drive safely darlin' I'll never know Drive safely darlin' I miss her so Drive safely darlin' I'll never know
