Where We Used to Sit - Classic Country 80s

The Porch Where We Used to Sit [Verse 1] The sun is going down behind the old oak tree, There's a quiet little town where you used to wait for me. The paint is peeling slowly from the house we called our own, And every room still whispers like I'm never here alone. I found your old blue sweater hanging by the door, I swear I smelled your perfume like I did years before. Funny how a heart can keep what time has taken away, And how a man can miss somebody more with every day. [Chorus] I'm still sitting on the porch where we used to sit, Watching the evening sky turn gold a little bit. You said we'd grow old together, You said you'd never leave, But life had other plans for you and me. Now the rocking chair keeps moving in the wind, Like you're coming home to me again. If heaven has a porch somewhere beyond the stars, I hope you're sitting there, Waiting for my old heart. [Verse 2] We didn't have much money, but we thought we had it all, A little house, two hearts, and pictures on the wall. We'd dance across the kitchen when the radio played low, And you would laugh and tell me, “Don't let this moment go.” Years went by like rivers running underneath a bridge, Children grew and left us, chasing dreams beyond the ridge. Then one cold December, you quietly slipped away, And half of this old house went silent on that day. [Chorus] I'm still sitting on the porch where we used to sit, Watching the evening sky turn gold a little bit. You said we'd grow old together, You said you'd never leave, But life had other plans for you and me. Now the rocking chair keeps moving in the wind, Like you're coming home to me again. If heaven has a porch somewhere beyond the stars, I hope you're sitting there, Waiting for my old heart. [Bridge] They tell me time will heal you, But I don't believe it's true. Time only teaches lonely men How to live without you. And when the night gets colder, I look up at the moon, I talk to you in silence, The way I always used to do. [Final Chorus] I'm still sitting on the porch where we used to sit, Counting every star and remembering it. The years have taken our youth, But they couldn't take our love, Some things are stronger than the hands of time. And when this old heart finally beats its last, I'll leave this house and leave the past. I'll walk through that old front door, And if there's a porch beyond the stars, I'll find you there... Where we used to sit. [Outro] So leave the porch light on tonight, Just in case I find my way. After all these lonely years, Maybe love still knows the way. #classicccountry
