Lyrics
THAT WAS ALL SHE WROTE
It was an awkward first night together, ?cause it?d been so long.
Since we found love in another?s arms, too much time alone.
I woke in the mornin? I was late and she was sleepin? in;
But I found a way to tell her, ?I?d like to see you again?.
Chorus:
I left my watch on her dresser;
No time for a note.
I left my watch on her dresser;
And that was all she wrote.
It was a short time together, from my side of it anyway.
We talked about forever but neither one could stay.
I was too scared to love and her heart was still on the mend.
But even then I wondered if I might see her again.
Chorus:
Cause she took my watch off the dresser;
We didn?t need a note.
She took my watch off the dresser;
And that was all she wrote.
A few years and we weren?t together I kind of put it away.
But then an old friend asked me if I ever thought of those days.
So the day I got the letter, I couldn?t help but shake my head.
The address was strange but I knew the name, and you already know what it said.
Chorus:
?I got your watch on my dresser?;
My life in a seven-word note.
?I got your watch on my dresser?;
And that was all she wrote
That was all she wrote
