Annie I Owe You A Dance

[Verse 1] I was running late again, picking up a few things And there you were on aisle thirteen I felt that old rush, when you saw me you blushed Like you did when you were sweet sixteen They said you looked lost on the dance floor With a lonely look in your eyes Don't know why I didn't show, to this day I still don't know For once I wish I hadn't thought twice Then your folks split up and you moved to Colorado And I headed out to Tennessee Heard you got married and you moved back home Here we are again, you and me [Chorus] It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes shines like the ring on your hand Annie, I owe you a dance [Verse 2] Don't the years fly by in the blink of an eye? Yeah, loves, I've had a few I've been a million places and I've seen a million faces But I couldn't stop thinking 'bout you Remember how we'd talk for hours? Keeping each other's secrets Made a promise I'd take you to homecoming But, Annie, I didn't keep it Almost called you up when I played in Boulder But I thought I'd just let it be Heard you found yourself a real good man Do you ever think of you and me? [Chorus] It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes shines like the ring on your hand Annie, I owe you a dance [Verse 3] So put your groceries in the basket, I'm so sorry, now I'm asking Like I should have twenty years ago And I know it's all over, I'm just looking for some closure And there's a song on the radio You give me your hand and we start to dance The cashier gives us a smile As you turn and walk away, I hear your little girl say "Momma, who was that guy?" [Outro] I shouldn't be surprised the forgiveness in your eyes gave me a second chance Annie, thanks for the dance
