Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I haven�??t seen you in a thousand sunsets
Haven�??t heard your voice in what feels like years
Haven�??t seen your face since we went separate ways
But I�??m glad that I found you here
Last I heard you�??d moved to Nashville
Chasing that dream like so many do
Last I heard you�??d found a bad deal
But you know I still believe in you
And I know it sounds crazy cause it�??s been so long
But you�??re standing here before me and I can�??t move on
Without knowing you�??re surviving that you�??ll be ok
No I never stopped singing your name
Downtown you see the lights are blinding
They caught your eye and made you lose your way
I�??m here to tell you that you can�??t keep hiding
You cannot outrun the arms of grace
