When I Saw You Leaving For Nisey
Alan Jackson
[Intro] [Verse 1] Ain’t it funny how one minute your whole life’s looking fine And a short few words later it all just comes untied? You can’t believe you’re looking what was always someone else Now it’s staring right there at you yesterday you couldn’t tell So shocked and disillusioned helpless and confused Not knowing how and what to say not accepting that it’s true You can’t help but see the worst to come a thousand different ways The same time trying to hold a strong and optimistic gaze [Chorus] When I saw you leaving when I saw you leaving When I saw you leaving in my mind [Verse 2] And the anger starts to surface looking up asking why And you realize He probably wants the best as same as I Days just go by quickly nights just never end As time gets so more precious every sunrise an old friend Trying to be a post to lean on a part you learn that’s hard to play Asking God to let you take her place or just take it all away Hope you’ll wake up in the morning was all just been a dream You never take for granted every second that you breathe [Chorus] When I saw you leaving when I saw you leaving When I saw you leaving in my mind [Solo] [Verse 3] And the seconds turn to minutes And minutes wouldn’t last And the hours days and weeks and months Seem endless and too fast And the blessings poured from Heaven Like the rain on that first spring Since that moment I first thought you You might not always be with me [Chorus] When I saw you leaving when I saw you leaving When I saw you leaving in my mind in my mind [Outro] Ain’t it funny how one minute your whole life’s looking fine And a short few words later it all just comes untied?
