That Train Stops”

[Vs1]
She
looked out her cold window at the sunrise,
Having
traveled that dark night without sleep;
She
tried to count each train track for a while,
But
without him every count was incomplete –
[Vs2]
She
never ventured this far in her daydreams,
So
her heart beat faster with each passing mile;
She placed his photo gently on her window,
Now
her journey wouldn’t be without his smile.
CHORUS
1
There’s
one love that eclipses every other,
Every
love you tried but love just wasn’t there –
When
it finds you it will never let you go…
Just
wait a while – you will know…
When
that train moves – it’s time to go.
[Vs3]
All
their memories together kept returning,
Every
night they spent upon those silver sands;
The moonlight’s blanket erased summer's questions,
And
they simply melted in each other’s hands -
[Vs4]
Now
she gave up everything to join him back East,
From
her home their love was just too far away;
In
the distance she could feel her new tomorrow,
As
she rode those rusty train tracks one more day.
CHORUS
1
There’s
one love that eclipses every other,
Every
love you tried but love just wasn’t there –
When
it finds you it will never let you go…
Just
wait a while – you will know…
When
that train moves – it’s time to go.
[Vs5]
As
the train slowly crawled toward new horizons,
And
the sun peeked over Smokey Mountain sides;
She took his photo off the warming window,
'Cause by now his smile warmed her deep inside...
[Vs6]
Soon
the whistle blew announcing the arrival,
Of
this old train that brought her all this way;
As
she stepped into forever he was waiting,
Then
he ran to her and took her heart away.
CHORUS
2
There’s
one love that eclipses every other,
Every
love you tried but love just wasn’t there –
When
it finds you it will never let you go…
Just
wait a while – you will know…
When
that train stops – it’s time to go…
When
that train stops – it’s time to go…
When
that train stops – it’s time to go…(REPEAT AND FADE)
