A Little Song by Turnpike Troubadours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I've got a little tune that I could hum to turn back time
Back to all our better days and nights
Well now what a fool to figure that forever you'd be mine
Well I wrote a little rhyme to make it right

[Verse 2]
And I found a pretty way to say
That I can't throw it all away
A little song to make you stay

[Verse 3]
Well I've been lookin' backward now 'til I've damn-near gone blind
Searching for a pretty sight to see
Finding out the only thing I'm needing now to find
Is finally standing right in front of me

[Verse 4]
And I think I stole a melody
To stop you now from leaving me
A little song to make you see
[Verse 5]
Well you could kill the engine and just cool it for awhile
And I could do my best just to keep it light
And maybe for a moment you'll remember how to smile
Maybe we're forgettin' how to fight

[Verse 6]
Well you don't want me anymore
Just waitin' 'til I count to four
And you're tapping on the hardwood floor
And I'll sing it for you til I'm blue
For any good that it could do
A little song to pull us through

[Verse 7]
Well I've got a little tune that I could hum to turn back time
Back to all our better days and nights
Well now what a fool to figure that forever you'd be mine
Well I wrote a little rhyme to make it right
