Ah yeah, let me tell you all about it I've been thinkin about you night and day Sure been restless since you went away You took something from me against my will Touched a nerve in me that's tingling still You just snuck up behind me When my resistance was low And nows a hell of a time to find I can't let you go Got your first letter just the other day Since I got it I can't put it away I just sit and read it over and over and over again As if the words that you wrote could bring this hurt to and end Well you just left me here waiting Left a wound that won't heal God your so far away you don't know how I feel So say you'll take a chance on this heart of mine Don't make me the one that you left behind And I'm not saying anybody's wrong or right Just know I'd die to be with you tonight I count the hours each time till your gone I don't have to let you leave me It makes no sense at all If I have to follow you all around the world I'd be willing to do anything to get to you girl You just left me here waitin Left a wound that won't heal God your so far away you don't know how I feel So say you'll take a chance on this heart of mine Don't make me the one that you left behind And I'm not saying anybody's wrong or right Just know I'd die to be with you tonight Ah yeah So say you'll take a chance on this heart of mine Don't make me the one that you left behind I'm not saying anybody's wrong or right Just know I'd die to be with you tonight Oh I'd die to be with you tonight Ah ha ha ha I'd die to be with you tonight I count the hours each time that your gone
