When I Saw You Leaving (for Nicey) Lyrics - Thirty Miles West - Alan Jackson

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 at 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 to strong and optimistic games 

When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving 

When I saw you leaving in my mind 

And the anger starts to surface, looking up, asking why 

And you realize he probably wants the best, the 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 is 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, it's all just been a dream 

You never take for granted every second that you breathe 

When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving 

When I saw you leaving in my mind 

And the seconds turn to minutes 

And minutes wouldn't last 

And the hours, days and weeks and months 

Seemed endless and too fast 

And the blessings poured from heaven 

Like the rain on that first spring 

Since that moment I first thought that 

You might not always be with me

When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving 

When I saw you leaving in my mind, in my mind 

Ain't it funny how one minute your whole life's looking fine 

And a short few words later it all just comes untied?
