Stars Over Abilene
(c) Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Moker Jarrett (ASCAP)
I have smelled your beauty close just like a rose
And on summer nights when the warm winds blow
I can hear you there - your memory's everywhere
But a Wrangler's place is out on the range
'n' some things even prayers won't change
Gotta stay on track - but I can't help lookin' back ..
Chorus:
And envy the stars over Abilene
Cause they watch each night as you dream
Wish I could see your reflection - when I look up in that direction
And see the prettiest eyes I've ever seen
In the stars over Abilene
By the time a man's my age he should've figured out
Where to hang his hat and have no doubts
But I lost my heart along the way-n I pay everday
As I steer along this cattle to San Antone
I cast the shadow of a man whos all alone
Yeah it haunts me in the light - and when I look up at night
Chorus:
I envy the stars over Abilene
Cause they watch each night as you dream
Wish I could see your reflection - when I look up in that direction
And see the prettiest eyes I've ever seen
In the stars over Abilene
Bridge:
these crows feet round these eyes, are rivers in disguise
at times I tilt my hat brim down ,cos a man ain't sposed ta cry
I know you deserve better, than this ol' life o' mine
but lyin' still on a clear night I...
chorus:
I envy the stars over Abilene
Cause they watch each night as you dream
Wish I could see your reflection - when I look up in that direction
And see the prettiest eyes I've ever seen
In the stars over Abilene
Tag:
Yeah the prettiest eyes I've ever seen
They keep draggin' me back thru my dreams
And the stars over Abilene
