You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from bein' made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leavin' Amarillo
To take that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me

[Chorus]
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile

When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

    General Comment:Good song...Not a good song to put on your myspace after your crush tells you she is not into you for a relationship. :)...I learned, she sent me a messege and asked why the song was on my profile...I just said listen to it and you would know. She wrote back im crying and im sorry, thats the last time we ever spoke (4 years ago).

    General Comment:poor guy. this chick treats him like shit. I'd be like trying to make myself smile after all of this. Either way great song. When you find a valuable woman like that, it's hard to let her go completely. She's with another man but it still makes him feel good to see her happy. awesome lyrics.
