Can you hear me? - acoustic

He was a good boy from Texas who flew on up to Estes
To be with the girl of his dreams
He brought his big shiny ring. Spent too damn much on that thing
But when you know you know badly. Don't let her get away clean

We were joking around at their folks' kitchen table
With two sisters we loved one a piece
He started shifting around and their Ma sniffed it out
Said "you got questions for daughters, there's a man you first see."

A month down the road he'd done what he's told
And the rest writes itself how you'd think

But then there was one seeing just what he'd done
Wondering what could I say to put a mind at an ease

Well when it's cold it's the rose on her cheeks
Or how one glass of wine can somehow stumble her speech
When I say I'll do better, she says don't change a thing
She's a friend. She's an angel. She's the best that I've seen

So what did old Horace say?
"Don't piss your time away" figuring too long on just what to say
Cause time will move on, and take what it takes
One minute he is right there. The next he just aint

Oh I'm sure this sounds like something you've heard
But I wrote every word that I needed to say
And now you've moved on to someplace beyond
So I'll just hope you can hear what I'm singing your way

'Cause when it's cold it's the rose on her cheeks
Or how one glass of wine can somehow stumble her speech
When I say I'll do better, she says don't change a thing
She's a friend. She's an angel. She's the best that I've seen

She's a friend. She's an angel. She's the best that I've seen
