If I Could See Your Face Again

Well, I've lived here all my life

Don't know why I'm still surprised

That the sunset comes so early to this valley

And if I'm not on my toes

The twilight comes and goes

And I'm all alone with darkness all around me

But if I could see your face again

Black with coal until your grin

Cuts like sunshine through the shadow of the mountain

I'd drop everything and run

Like I know I shoulda done

Every time you come home to me in the evenin'

But tonight's just like the night before

Ain't nobody walkin' through that door

If I could touch you one more time

Just to hold your hand in mine

I'd never let it go again, I promise

And maybe we would find a town

Where dreams aren't buried underground

And not so many ghosts around to haunt us

And every breath was not a prayer

Until I turn around to find you there

If I could see your face again

And I knew what I know then

I wouldn't make you work so hard to win me

I'd surrender to your arms

Wrapped around me safe and warm

Cause I knew you were the one from the beginning

And I'd give almost anything

If I could only see your face again
