Compared To You |
| by Daisy |
When you stood in the doorway
engulfed in summer shadow
and waved goodbye to me,
I made a silent promise to the setting sun
and hoped you would hear me.
I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin'
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that;
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.
They followed me around, offerin' me kisses,
gold, and diamond rings.
But to each of them I said,
"Hey, Honey, I'm sorry, but I know my heart's desire. "
I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin'
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that;
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.
The years passed by, college came and went
and now, I'm comin' home.
I dialed your number, said a quick hello,
then sang into the phone:
I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin'
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that;
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.
Silence on the line, then I heard you smile,
and take a long deep breath.
You said, "Baby, I know exactly what you're thinking,
but why'd you wait all this while? "
Because I'll never love another like I love you, Baby
I never make a promise I don't intend to keep.
I'll never love another like I love you, Baby.
Compared to you, they're only second best to me.
