House Across The Bay - George Strait

Walkin' down this lonely stretch of beach

She and I, walked down a thousand times

I just can’t force myself to give her up

Like all the things she left behind

Gone are the days when I’d wake up

With her warm body next to mine

It gets cold here in the wintertime

And my mind drifts away

To that house across the bay.

A long talk and a glass of wine

And we’d love the night away,

But that was yesterday

In that house across the bay.

Her laughter was contagious

Her walk, her talk, her smile lit up every room.

They say things happen for a reason,

But I can’t find one good reason

Why she’s gone so soon.

Life just seems to hang

On every thought and everything

We used to be.

It gets cold here in the wintertime

And my mind drifts away

To that house across the bay.

A long talk and a glass of wine

And we’d love the night away,

But that was yesterday

In that house across the bay.

There was sunshine everyday

And we’d love the night away

In that house across the bay.
