Shoulda Layed It On The Line

from Steel Bridge Songs Vol. 14 by Holiday Music Motel

lyrics

She touches me with her shadow
At the break of dawn from across the bay
Waves roll by, they shimmer
And I feel fine

A mesmerizing beauty
A constant charm and a will so strong
I raise my arms and imagine
She is mine

I wish, I wish you wouldn’t
Go away
I need a little more time
Be cuz I wasn’t brave enough to say
You were the sun in my sky
I woulda, coulda, didn’t
Tell you babe
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line

How I miss her on the horizon
So alone at the end of the day
Stars fade in and they glimmer
She’s on my mind

Somewhere under the moonlight
Is she a memory or a distant dream?
She’s the everything I have lost
And cannot find

I wish, I wish you wouldn’t
Go away
I need a little more time
Be cuz I wasn’t brave enough to say
You were the sun in my sky
I woulda, coulda, didn’t
Tell you babe
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line

I wish, I wish you wouldn’t
Go away
I need a little more time
Be cuz I wasn’t brave enough to say
You were the sun in my sky
I woulda, coulda, didn’t
Tell you babe
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
I shoulda laid it on the line
