She’s lost the sparkle in her eyes I hate the fact that I have to tell her lies When you find your soul mate Never let go of the sunshine Sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze You drifted away so slowly on me I’ll always leave the hall light on for you So don’t ever stand outside the door Life will go on there so much more I still have trouble forgiving myself for getting mad When I see her now, I just see her sad I know you don’t see my tears But I feel I let you down We made it to our golden years We’re in the hell is the gold Baby Jesus slapped the drink out of my hand The trouble is I miss you Can’t live without you Nothing lasts forever My heart is yours We will always be together Quietly she calls me by another name I pretend it’s a new game So don’t ever stand outside the door Life will go on there so much more Life will go on there so much more Life will go on there so much more Life will So don’t ever stand outside the door Life will go on there so much more I still have trouble forgiving myself for getting mad When I see her now, I just see her sad I know you don’t see my tears But I feel I let you down We made it to our golden years We’re in the hell is the gold Baby Jesus slapped the drink out of my hand The trouble is I miss you Can’t live without you Nothing lasts forever My heart is yours We will always be together Quietly she calls me by another name I pretend it’s a new game We both loved to watch the thunderstorms She’s my gold at the end of the rainbow The sadness I seen in her eyes Really took me by surprise This is all I have to say She wouldn’t want it any other way We’re in the hell is the gold Baby Jesus slapped the drink out of my hand The trouble is I miss you Can’t live without you Nothing lasts forever My heart is yours We will always be together Quietly she calls me by another name There’s a ring on the counter by the coffee mug Old church coat hanging by the back door hook Some days she knows me, some days she drifts I keep the same old records on, let them skip If I’m honest, I’m scared of the quiet now But I stay in the room when the sun goes down I still reach for her hand when she’s half-asleep Like the whole damn world still belongs to me So I’ll keep the porch light burning low Say her name soft and let it go If she asks, I’ll play along Hum along to her favorite song She lost the sparkle, I know that’s true But I’m still here, and I’m staying too
