Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did was she crying, cryin?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl, that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry, tell her I need my baby
Oh, won’t you tell her, that I love her.
I woke up this morning, and realized what I had done
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn
And I knew I’d lost my morning sun
I lost my head and I said some things
Now come the heartaches that the morning brings
I know I’m wrong and I couldn’t see
I let my world slip away from me.
Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did was she crying, cryin?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl, that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry, tell her I need my baby
Oh, won’t you tell her, that I love her.
Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did was she crying, cryin?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl, that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry, tell her I need my baby
Oh, won’t you tell her, that I love her
Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did was she crying, cryin?
