[Verse 1]
The clouds hung lower than they should be
Scraping the tops of the trees
The sun pierced through and the flowers are in bloom
It makes no difference to me
'Cause it was cold and I was waiting for you to warm up
And I thought I saw fire everywhere
And she came along, not mistaking what I saw
And now we're smoke in the air

[Chorus]
'Cause you were the only one I was holding
And I was holding her close
You were the only one I was thinking of
Lying in her arms and throwing away our love

[Verse 2]
She was young, she was new, and that's what I wanted
Some new eyes that shine back at me
The warmth wore off, and Lord, I was left with the thoughts
And what I did, I couldn't change

[Chorus]
'Cause you were the only one I was holding
And I was holding her close
And you were the only one I was thinking of
Lying in her arms and throwing away our love
'Cause you were the only one I was holding
And I was holding her close
And you were the only one I was thinking of
Lying in her arms and throwing away our love

[Outro]
Ooh, I know

[Interlude]
Ladies and gentlemen, over here on the keyboards tonight
All the way from Wetumpka, Alabama
Please put your hands together and give him—
A big Nashville welcomin' to Mr. Philip Towns
