Sonny, I've been missing you tonight,
Sonny, something deep inside me has died.
I gave up the purest love
A woman could give to a man.
Everything I ever had
Has slipped right through my hands
In this Honky Tonk
Everyone is gone
And I just got to thinking
Here on my own
How much our music’s grown
So I turn ‘em down
And grab myself a broom
As I start to sweep
A presence fills the room
I these walls could talk
I know they’d say
We miss the innocence
The purity that lay
In country’s younger days
At the midnight hour
The present fades away
As the clock strikes 12
I close my eyes and pray
Turn back the hands of time
Patsy Cline
Waltz me in those Crazy arms
Just one more time
These ghosts in the jukebox
Still linger on my mind
I miss the things that meant so much
Once upon a time
Like an honest man, a simple dance and Patsy Cline
So I dance alone
Memories swimmin’ ‘round
Ernest Tubb, Bill Munroe
The fiddle bows
Playin’ long forgotten sounds
Oh, this empty stage
It seems so alive
Imagination reigns
Must be 1955
We’re all rushing ‘round in circles
We’re living for today
Forgetting where we came from
And how we learned to play
Take a look behind you
And look at yesterday
The Magic in that won’t ever fade away
