Second Thoughts

The sun’s gone down behind the ridge,

The creek hums low beneath the bridge,

I still recall that summer breeze,

And how your hand fit right in me.

I hope you never have second thoughts on me,

When the night gets cold and you can’t sleep,

If the wind starts whisperin’ through the trees,

I hope you never have second thoughts on me.

The porch light fades, the crickets sing,

I hear your name in everything,

The whiskey burns, but not as deep,

As the promise that I swore to keep.

I hope you never have second thoughts on me,

When the road gets long and memories creep,

If the stars fall down where hearts can’t see,

I hope you never have second thoughts on me.

Maybe time will wear us thin,

Like river stones, smooth from within,

But if you find that love still gleams,

Hold it close, don’t let it leave.

I hope you never have second thoughts on me,

When the dawn breaks soft on the willow tree,

If the years roll by and you still believe,

I hope you never have second thoughts on me
