Lyrics
REDISCOVERING YOU Chris Merkling (BMI)
She had chestnut hair and angel eyes
He fell for her in '65
But they had different plans in sight
They knew the time just wasn't right
So she went off to college and
He shipped out to Viet Nam
After he came home from war
He saw her down at Harper's store
They hadn't talked for half an hour when
They knew they were both in love again
and he said...
CHORUS
I love rediscovering you
It feels like I'm falling deeper into
A love that's still burning like new
I love rediscovering you
That pretty girl became his wife
They settled down and they built a life
He drove truck, she stayed home
One night he called her from the road
She said 'I miss you, how've you been?
I'll wait up 'til you get in."
Still it took him by surprise
when he opened the door to candlelight
Champagne poured and music way down low
And the woman of his dreams said "Cowboy welcome home."
CHORUS
I love rediscovering you
It feels like I'm falling deeper into
A love that's still burning like new
I love rediscovering you
Love is such a wonder, it's hard to comprehend
It's like opening a treasure again and again
Alternate 3rd verse
He came home to her for forty years
Then she got the call she'd always feared
He rolled his rig on highway two
Now he's lyin' in the ICU
She sat beside him day and night
Cried and prayed and held him tight
'til the day he finally woke and saw her there
the girl with angel eyes and chestnut hair
and he said...
CHORUS
I love rediscovering you
It feels like I'm falling deeper into
A love that will always be burning like new
I love rediscovering you
