Then I Wake Up

Trace Adkins · Comin' On Strong [2003]

I smell the fragrance of your hair

Fell your fingers and your breath

On my skin

When we're here alone like this

Our crazy world

Makes perfect sense

I hear you whispering my name

Your kisses leave the sweetest taste

On my lips

When you say I love you too

Soft and tender like you do

I know all my dreams have come true



[chorus]

Then I wake up

On the floor beside our bed where I sleep

Ever since the night you left me alone in this old house

Days go by

But I'm still in love

With who we used to be

Now your just

A percise memory

I can count on every night

To hold me tight

Then I wake up



I lay here while the truth sinks in

I'm still alone, you're not still here

And we're still through

I remember our last night

Every word

Right up to goodbye

Slowly I drift off again

I'm saying words I wish I said

That night

To you

And you don't drive off in your car

And I don't have a broken heart

And you can't wait to be in my arms



[chorus]



Oh baby



I'm still in love

With who we used to be

Now your just

A precious memory

I can count on every night

To hold me tight

Then I wake up

On the floor beside our bed where I sleep

Ever since the night you left me alone in this old house

Days go by
