I saw you leaning on a memory With your back turned to the crowd In that little bar on Murphy Where they play guitar too loud There were people drinking whiskey There were hearts about to leave It was cold as hell for Houston It was almost New Years Eve CHORUS All the way from Beaumont With a white rose in my hand I could not wait forever I hope you understand Well, 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 But I put my arms around you I knew you weren't giving in I hope it will be different If I pass this way again CHORUS I walked a road to get here With a guitar and a case I'd have stopped in Pasadena If I’d have known about this place But the view looked like forever Where the water meets the shore I've been thinking about you, baby I can't do that anymore CHORUS I saw you leaning on a memory With your back turned to the crowd In that little bar on Murphy Where they play guitar too loud There were people drinking whiskey There were hearts about to leave It was cold as hell for Houston It was almost New Years Eve CHORUS
