BREATHLESS IN TEXAS

Talking with you sure was easy
When we first met at gate ten
It’s such a small world I’ve known your cousin Joe
Since we were kids
Too soon your flight was leaving
And nothing ever felt so wrong
As you walked away you waved good-bye
‘n right then my heart was gone

CHORUS:
YOU LEFT ME BREATHLESS IN TEXAS
WITH SO MUCH MORE TO SAY
SHOULD’A TRIED TO GET YOUR NUMBER
BEFORE YOU FLEW AWAY
BUT I COULDN’T SPEAK
AND MY HEART WAS HELPLESS
I’VE BEEN SO LOST SINCE YOU LEFT ME
BREATHLESS IN TEXAS

I’m back in Austin and I’ve been haunted
By your smiling eyes
Been one lonely month since I met you
At the airport that night
I can still see you sitting in that chair
Laughing at my silly jokes
How I let you get away
Heaven only knows

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
My phone rings and I can’t believe you’re talking to me now
You say it was hard to find me but Joe helped you out
‘n since we met you’re not yourself you can hardly sleep at all
You whisper “I just gotta tell you before I end this call……

CHORUS :
YOU LEFT ME BREATHLESS IN TEXAS
WITH SO MUCH MORE TO SAY
SHOULD’A TRIED TO GET YOUR NUMBER
BEFORE I FLEW AWAY
BUT I COULDN’T SPEAK
AND MY HEART WAS HELPLESS
I’VE BEEN SO LOST SINCE YOU LEFT ME…
