A MILLION MILES

A Million Miles

Last night I drove a million miles

And kept my mind on you

Seeing no scenes off the road

As darkness took the blue.

Feeling like a hungry man

With nothing left to eat

The car wheels seemed to turn so slow

And couldn't match my feet.

I wanted to get out and run

I wanted to get home

To take you in my loving arms

And be with you alone.

But miles and miles lay in between

With miles and miles to go

And I sang softly to our songs

On the radio.

I guess I never realized

How much a heart can break

Until I ran away from love

And the depth that love can take.

When your voice on the telephone

Asked me to come back

I had to get my crazy self

On the homeward track.

The night skies sang above my head

The moon held out her hand

And all I knew was I was yours

And a new and better man.

I saw your face in the headlights glow

I heard your laughter ring

I passed through town and country side

And didn't see a thing.

For loving you was all I sought

And all my soul could bear

Needing you to be needing me

And to see you standing there.

Forgiveness is not so hard to ask

When the shards of pride no longer

Pierce the flesh of stubborness

It only makes you stronger.

But I have learned and I have grown

And I have come to see

That only God and your sweet love

Can set this grown man free.

I'm pulling into our drive way

And it is almost dark

I see the glow behind the drapes

From the scented candles' sparks.

I hear the song we always danced

To on those special nights 

Throw open the door with a heart determined

To change all the wrongs to rights.

And there you are, with no questions asked

No if, or and, or maybe

And a million miles just fade away

And I'm dancing with my baby.
