Lady In White
Driving down the highway late one night
Eyes tired from all the light
Feeling low thinking my heart was dead
Getting further away with each passing of the tire tread
Saw this lady standing by the road.
Maybe I should lighten her load
Standing under the light
All dressed in white
Looked like a ghost
But I'll be her host
Pulling over in my car she got
Brain started feeling kinda hot
We talked but never told me her name
I was feeling love and she was to blame
Up ahead I saw a light.
Asked her if she wished to stay the night
Ahh delight
Emotions long hidden
Came out all unbidden
Felt love inter my heart
From her I never wanted to part.
Held each other tight
My lady in white
All through night
Before falling asleep in each other's arms
Energy spent with the others charms
I open my eyes she was gone
Searched and searched till I couldn't go on
Sadly I got in my car
Drove tell I came up upon thes bar
Went in to drown my sad
The most beautiful lady I ever had
My lady in white
I thank you for the night
Drinking my beer
Fighting back a tear
Over the bar I noticed a photo of a a lady dressed in white
The lady from last night
Pointing at the photo beautiful lady I said
Bartender nodded his head
Was my daughter ,shes now ten years dead
