[lyrics by Billy]
[Verse 1 ]
I met her under neon lights, in a town just down the road
She lived out in the countryside, where the wildflowers grow
She rode a horse through morning mist, free as the wind that blew
And somehow in that crowded club, I found a girl so true
[Verse 2]
We built a life from laughter, years just seemed to glide
Sunlit days and holiday nights, she was always by my side
She worked down at the travel shop, I’d meet her after five
And every dream we ever dreamed felt perfectly alive
[Chorus]
But time has a way of changing hearts
And life don’t always play fair parts
One moment’s spark, one selfish flame
Burned down the life we built by name
She never saw it coming, and she'll never be the same
I left the girl with the horse, and I carry all the blame
[Verse 3]
There was someone new at work, with a smile that caught my eye
And what began as harmless words turned into secret lies
One night we crossed that fragile line, and everything went wrong
She told me she was carrying my child , and i knew where i belonged
[Verse 4]
I heard that she had cried alone, ring still on her hand
All the plans we made, the vows we wrote, turned into shifting sand
I walked away with heavy steps, a future left behind
I chose the road I had to take, but she was always on my mind
[Chorus]
‘Cause time has a way of cutting deep
And some mistakes you never keep
In silence now her echoes stay
In fields where once we used to lay
[Bridge ]
Now our daughter’s grown and shining bright
She’s my world, my truest light
But even as I hold her near
There’s a voice inside i still can hear
[Final Chorus ]
Time can heal but it won’t erase
The price I paid, the love I faced
That countryside, her soft brown eyes
Still haunt my quiet, sleepless nights
I did what I had to, and I’d do it all again
But I left the girl with the horse, and lost my truest friend
