Eggs Over Easy

Eggs Over Easy

I found the letter you left me this morning
The one that told me you tried
You got tired of the lies that I told you
and you needed new wings to fly
My mind kept on aching, my heart kept on breaking
and teardrops fell from my eyes
but, I've got eggs over easy, black coffee to warm me
and the note that tells me goodbye

That woman you saw me with last night was only
an old flame I can not forget
The love that she gives me helps me remember
I'm not over her yet
I promised to love you now and forever
but, she seems to be in the way
Well, I've got eggs over easy, black coffee to warm me
and the note that tells me goodbye

How many memories can one man remember
when his world has just come to an end
There on the table your picture reminds me
I don't even know where to begin
Your leaving has left me with nowhere to turn to
and, once again I break down and cry
But, I've got eggs over easy, black coffee to warm me
and the note that tells me goodbye

I see in the mirror the man who still loves you
and I know that I've got to go on
How can I hold you the way that I want to
when your love for me has already gone
I'd give you the world right now tomorrow
if it'd bring your love back to me
But, I've got eggs over easy, black coffee to warm me
and the note that tells me goodbye

Yes, I've got eggs over easy, black coffee to warm me
and the note that tells me goodbye
