[00:12.84]Ain''t funny how one minute
[00:15.78]Your whole life''s lookin'' fine
[00:17.59]
[00:18.53]And a short few words later
[00:20.34]
[00:21.34]It all just comes untied
[00:22.78]
[00:24.09]You can''t believe you''re lookin''
[00:25.65]
[00:26.72]What was always someone else
[00:28.36]
[00:29.54]Now it''s starin'' right there at you
[00:31.79]
[00:32.42]Yesterday you couldn''t tell
[00:33.67]
[00:35.04]So shocked and disillusioned
[00:36.61]
[00:38.23]Helpless and confused
[00:39.23]
[00:40.79]Now knowin'' how or what to say
[00:43.61]Not acceptin'' that it''s true
[00:44.92]
[00:46.23]You can''t help but see the worst to come
[00:48.73]
[00:49.36]A thousand different ways
[00:50.73]
[00:52.11]The same time tryin'' to hold a strong
[00:53.00]
[00:54.04]And optimistic gaze
[00:56.28]
[00:58.72]When I saw you leaving
[01:00.60]
[01:04.10]When I saw you leaving
[01:06.28]
[01:09.72]When I saw you leaving
[01:11.90]
[01:14.22]In my mind
[01:15.34]
[01:25.35]Then the anger starts to surface
[01:27.28]
[01:28.28]Lookin'' up' askin'' why
[01:30.04]
[01:31.09]But you realize he probably wants
[01:33.10]
[01:34.22]The bestest same as I
[01:35.60]
[01:37.10]Days just go by quickly
[01:38.47]
[01:39.66]Nights just never end
[01:40.91]
[01:42.22]As time gets so more precious
[01:43.91]
[01:44.91]Every sunrise an old friend
[01:46.54]
[01:47.72]Tryin'' to be a post to lean on
[01:49.72]
[01:50.48]A part you learn it''s hard to play
[01:52.66]
[01:53.22]Askin'' God to let you take her place
[01:55.66]
[01:56.16]Or just take it all away
[01:57.48]
[01:58.98]Hope you wake up in the morning
[02:00.54]
[02:01.85]And this all just been a dream
[02:03.53]
[02:04.53]You''d never take for granted
[02:05.79]
[02:07.16]Every second that you breathe
[02:08.53]
[02:11.22]When I saw you leaving
[02:13.03]
[02:16.60]When I saw you leaving
[02:19.42]
[02:22.24]When I saw you leaving
[02:25.24]
[02:26.80]In my mind
[02:27.93]
[02:54.74]And the seconds turn to minutes
[02:56.55]
[02:57.80]The minutes wouldn''t last
[02:58.99]
[03:00.36]And the hours' days and weeks and months
[03:02.80]
[03:03.43]Seem endless and too fast
[03:04.48]
[03:05.86]And the blessings poured from Heaven
[03:07.61]
[03:08.55]Like the rain on that first spring
[03:10.24]
[03:11.30]Since that moment I first thought
[03:12.86]
[03:13.80]You might not always be with me
[03:15.86]
[03:18.05]When I saw you leaving
[03:20.18]
[03:23.61]When I saw you leaving
[03:26.86]
[03:29.18]When I saw you leaving
[03:32.24]
[03:33.99]In my mind
[03:34.93]
[03:39.30]In my mind
[03:40.24]
[03:44.93]Ain''t funny how one minute
[03:46.74]
[03:47.86]Your whole life''s lookin'' fine
[03:49.36]
[03:50.55]And a short few words later
[03:52.18]
[03:53.74]It all just comes untied
[03:56.18]
