To hear her tell it, it was a different story Over a cup of coffee in the morning We'd sit and talk about the girl around the block who gets around To hear her tell it, the world's gone crazy Next door babies, are making babies She swears time moves faster now That strangers moved to town And stole her stomping ground She ain't here but I hear her voice in my own She's timeless but I miss the stories she told I've written them down and I've said them out loud But it's not the same, I'd give anything... To hear her tell it, it was like a movie He fell for her classic beauty They were married in the chapel Whole town saw a couple of kids in love She ain't here but I hear her voice in my own She's timeless but I miss the stories she told I've written them down and I've said them out loud But it's not the same, I'd give anything... I bring flowers every sunday And sit right on the ground And I tell her my own stories And hope she will be proud She ain't here but I hear her voice in my own She's timeless but I miss the stories she told I've written them down and I've said them out loud But it's not the same, I'd give anything... To hear her tell it To hear her tell it One last time
