Lyrics: 20 Years

20 years
And she forgot
Skin to skin
The way they talked
And the sound of love
When it's spoken softly
In the light of dawn

20 years
And she's erased
The first time that she saw his face
And the memory of
The way he praised
The ground she walked upon

20 years and all she had to say
Sorry baby, the thrill - it's just gone away
He said go ahead and take the house
Take all that you hold dear
You've already taken my best
20 years

20 years
And all due respect
She's much too busy to reflect
She only knows she can't connect
The dots on this page

20 years
And he's in hell
The past is just an empty shell
And all he's got for show and tell
Are the lines on his face

20 years and all she had to say
Sorry baby, I can't chase these blues away
He said go ahead and take the kids
I'll see 'em twice a year
You've already taken my best
20 years

20 years of living
With his heart in her hand
20 years of giving
He just cannot understand
