You were standing at the bar with a halo around your head.
And I tried to speak and stumbled over every word I said.
Then we took a walk at 3AM across the River James.
And I felt something between us, though I hardly knew your name.

And we shared all of our secrets out there underneath the stars.
And you told me all your hurts, and I showed you all my scars.
And the city skyline burned out just like candles in the night.
And I wrapped my arms around you, somehow they fit just right.

Chorus:
Here I am, so take me before another restless heart can come to break me.
And hold me close to you for just a little while.
Dry my Carolina tears with your Alabama Smile

I met you just last week but I’ve known you all my life.
You’ve been dancing in the shadows of my dreams every night.
And I know that this might sound like another worn out line.
But I haven’t felt this way in a long long time.

Chorus

Solo

There’s a trail of disappointment left behind me in my tracks
I’ve made hundreds of mistakes, but I’d never take them back,
Cause you’re lying here beside me and it doesn’t matter how.
And everything I’ve ever done has led me up to now.

Chorus
