Barlight
One drunk night I played in some run down bar
Just me and my guitar,
Played Johnny Cash and Hank,
I just played and sang and drank.
Then some guy yells "Can my girl get up and sing?"
So up comes this timid thing
She joins in as I start playin'
"In the early morning rain."
CHORUS:How I loved you in the barlight
And the way you sang with me that night
It was just a simple harmony
Oh, but it was sweet as it could be.
Just one song but it felt so right
Then you ran off the stage without a bow
And though doesn’t even matter now
How I loved you in the barlight.
She was young and so tiny in that place,
Her long hair hid her face,
A slowly swaying skirt
And a sweet voice full of hurt.
CHORUS:How I loved you in the barlight
And the way you sang with me that night
It was just a simple harmony
Oh, but it was sweet as it could be.
Just one song but it felt so right
Then you ran off the stage without a bow
And though doesn’t even matter now
How I loved you in the barlight.
Now and then I hear that song somewhere
And it takes me right back there,
There are women I've loved more,
But there are few I still long for.
CHORUS:How I loved you in the barlight
And the way you sang with me that night
It was just a simple harmony
Oh, but it was sweet as it could be.
Just one song but it felt so right
Then you ran off the stage without a bow
And though I’ve barely though of you till now
How I loved you in the barlight
