When I was younger
I saw
My daddy cry
And curse at
the wind
He broke his own
heart And I watched
As he tried to
reassemble it
And my mama swore
That she would never
let herself forget
And that was the
day that I promised
Id never sing
of love
If it does not
exist
But darling you are
the only exception
But you are the
only exception
But you are the
only exception
But you are the
only exception
We maybe I know
somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love
never lasts
And we have got to
find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a
straight face
And I have always
lived like this
Keeping a
comfortable
distance
And up until now
I had sworn to
myself
That I am content
with loneliness
Because none of
it was ever worth
the risk
Well you are the
only exception
Well you are the
only exception
Well you are the
only exception
Well you are the
only exception
I have got a tight
grip on reality
But I cant let go
of what's in front
of me here
I know you are
leaving in the
morning when you
wake up
Leave me of some
kind of proof its
not a dream ohh
You are the only
exception
You are the
only exception
You are the
only exception
You are the
only exception
You are the
only exception
You are the
only exception
You are the
only exception
You are the
only exception
And I am on my way
to believing
Oh and I am on my
way to believing
