I have spent my time in goin'
Never carin', never knowin'
Just what it was
I might be goin' to

And I'd planned on leavin' you the same
Just up and gone the way I came
But you may have noticed
I'm still here with you

Yes, there's one sweet reason
Why you've yet to see me leavin'
Just one thing
Between here and gone

And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
And a touch that warms me
Like the fire's glow

Any number of a hundred things
Would send me down that road
But there's one sweet reason
I don't go

I've run from ties
I've cut my strings
I've unlocked doors I've broken chains
Fading like a shadow in the down
When other loves have turned to clay
I've turned my back and walked away
And you should be the next
To find me gone

Yes, there's one sweet reason
Why you've yet to see me leavin'
Just one thing
Between here and gone

And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
And a touch that warms me
Like the fire's glow

Any number of a hundred things
Would send me down that road
But there's one sweet reason
I don't go

Now I find no need in goin'
From the sweet love I've been knowin'
To the restless ways
And days that I once knew

For more and more I've looked to find
When leavin' creeps across my mind
It's lost in all the days
I've spent with you
Yes, there's one sweet reason
Why you've yet to see me leavin'
Just one thing
Between here and gone

And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
And a touch that warms me
Like the fire's glow

Any number of a hundred things
Would send me down that road
But there's one sweet reason
I don't go

You're the one sweet reason I don't go
