She said her mind was made up,

As she put on her makeup,

It's a cryin' shame it took her tears to open up my eyes...

All the warnin' signs were there but I was blind.

Last night the Band played Dallas
Em
I sang a song I wrote about us
Am D
And you could feel the sadness in the air

After the show was over
Em
I felt a hand there on my shoulder

Turned around and found her standin' there
Am
She said after all these years
D
Its nice to know your dreams came true
Am C D
And the wedding band on her hand told me that hers had too
