As you look out into
A painted western sky
This early, holler sunset
Sure could use your smile
I'm not sure about the miles
Or all the air between
The only thing that keeps me going
Keeps me half clean
But I wish that you could know
Just how I see you
When you're dancing in the night
In your heart is my home
And if lead does start to fly
For you, I would gladly die
Darlin' of mine
I got a list of things to do
Before you get back
Starts with cleaning up my room
And cleaning up my act
Lord knows I should
I reckon if you've got the time
For a half-assed guitar man
Then I'll put pencil to the paper
And give you the best life I can
But I wish that you could know
Just how I see you
When you're dancing in the night
In your heart is my home
And if lead does start to fly
For you, I would gladly die
Darlin' of mine
Twenty thousand lightning bugs light up summer's night sky
And Lord, it still ain't half as bright as the light
That's in your eyes
So I'll play for you a song, "A Song While You're Away,"
And I'll remember all the words while you dream of violin and bass
But I wish that you could know
Just how I see you
When you're dancing in the night
In your heart is my home
And if lead does start to fly
For you, I would gladly die
Darlin' of mine
