Bye Bye Baby - Lyrics - Hayes Carll

You laughed and called me lucky for having you around And you stepped up to the bar and started swaying The crowd all sang Ophelia as we drank another round Oh bye bye, bye bye baby The rain fell on the window as we watched the sailors dance You kissed my hand and said you were beside me I held on in a moment when I thought there was a chance Oh bye bye, bye bye baby Way out in the distance where the waters fade to blue You used to say tomorrow was a foolish thing to do I thought I'd seen it all before but nothing quite like you Oh bye bye, bye bye baby I'd read to you the letters that had blown in from the west And we'd whisper of the dreams that we'd been saving You said you'd have it all, nothing more, nothing less Oh bye bye, bye bye baby Now there's an emptiness standing at the door Trying to take me back to the way I was before I used to feel lonely but it's not that way no more Oh bye bye, bye bye baby Now the drunks have turned to strangers And the stars are out of tune As I think about the one who might have saved me I know you're out there somewhere between the highway and the moon Oh bye bye, bye bye baby Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
