verse 1
The whipping of the flag above
It sung me to sleep
And I awoke to feel her hair
Dancing on my cheek
It sung me to sleep
And I awoke to feel her hair
Dancing on my cheek
verse 2
I awoke with the crazy feeling
That I was where I belong
And the sun warmed a remembered love
In my head I heard this song
That I was where I belong
And the sun warmed a remembered love
In my head I heard this song
chorus
Don't leave, you've finally made it home
Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along
I know it hurts to think about
Everything that went wrong
But I think its over now
Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along
I know it hurts to think about
Everything that went wrong
But I think its over now
verse 3
And I can't believe how her hands
Still fit perfectly in mine
If I don't take my chances now
I'll be searching all my life
Still fit perfectly in mine
If I don't take my chances now
I'll be searching all my life
verse 4
Trying to find the feelings that I knew
With this lovely country girl
If those plans are just a young mans mistake
Why am I still so set on her
With this lovely country girl
If those plans are just a young mans mistake
Why am I still so set on her
chorus
Don't leave, you've finally made it home
Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along
I know it hurts to think about
Everything that went wrong
But I think its over now
Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along
I know it hurts to think about
Everything that went wrong
But I think its over now
pre-chorus
And more than ever, now I hear
that sweet old voice inside my ear it says
that sweet old voice inside my ear it says
chorus
Don't leave, you've finally made it home
Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along
I know it hurts to think about
Everything that went wrong
But I think its over now
Ain't this the girl that you wanted all along
I know it hurts to think about
Everything that went wrong
But I think its over now
outro
Her hair is still soft and sweet
Her eyes still green, her heart still beats
For you and for the Lord above
Be done with the pain and get on with the love
Her eyes still green, her heart still beats
For you and for the Lord above
Be done with the pain and get on with the love
