I saw you leaning on a memory with your back turned to the crowd and that little bar on murphy where the played guitar too loud. There were people drinking whiskey their were hearts about to leave. It was cold as hell for Houston it was almost new years eve. All the way from Beaumont with a white rose in my hand I could not wait forever baby I hope you understand. All the night was feeling lucky so I asked you to dance and the way you looked up at me made me think I had a chance. When I put my arms around You were'nt giving in I hope we'll be different if I pass this way again. All the way from Beaumont with a white rose in my hand I could not wait forever baby I hope you understand. I walk the road to get here with a guitar and a case i'd stopped in Pasadena if I'd known about this place but you looked like forever where the water meets the shore I've been thinking bout you baby I can't do that any more.
