Well whod of thought and who could know?
that time was ever gonna go this darn slow
And shes late and you just dont know
if youre ever gonna get on through this year alone

It was the way she put her hand on her hip
the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if its gonna be there all the time

Leaves they fall
you know youre never gonna sweep em all
And weeds they grow
and peeking out all through the grass and snow

And hes a fake yeah
from his smile to the tatts right there on his toes
But youre just not sure if youre ever
gonna get through this year alone
he dont hold your hand just when you need
and youre sure that twinkle in his eye
aint just there for you

but you cant ignore that
he sure looks like your dad
When can still look straight at night
When he tucks you in and kisses your belly
and strokes your hair so you just dont cry

Leaves they fall
you know youre never gonna sweep em all
And weeds they grow
and peeking out all through the grass and snow

You sure wish you knew who was on the halfback flank
about twenty years
when you took those flags onback to back
Would sure make the stand offs and make more sense
If you could stand toe to toe
and who took the bench
But not this silent treatment
that leaves you wondering if this babys heaven sent

It was the way she put her hand on her hip
the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if its gonna be there all the time

Leaves they fall
you know that you can never sweep em all
And weeds they grow
and peeking out all through the grass and snow
