(nanci griffith)
i saw you on the avenue
you looked so tired and a little blue
you were in your sunday best
with your father's tie upon your chest
[chorus:]
hey, you always stood me still
hey, you always will
in the corridor of one hotel
we once crossed paths i recall it well
voices in an empty hall
slamming doors to hearts that fall
[chorus]
[bridge:]
always will.....always will
hey
always will.....always will
hey
love has been my passer by
i stood too still to catch your eye
but there out on the avenue
in your father's tie i'll remember you
[chorus 2x]
hey, you always will |
