"Annie I Owe You A Dance" lyrics - TIM MCGRAW

I was running late again, picking up a few things
And there you were on aisle thirteen
I felt that old rush, when you saw me you blushed
Like you did when you were sweet sixteen
They said you looked lost on the dance floor
With a lonely look in your eyes
Don't know why I didn't show, to this day I still don't know
For once I wish I hadn't thought twice
Then your folks split up and you moved to Colorado
And I headed out to Tennessee
Heard you got married and you moved back home
Here we are again, you and me

[Chorus:]
It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes shines like the ring on your hand
Annie, I owe you a dance

Don't the years fly by in the blink of an eye?
Yeah, loves, I've had a few
I've been a million places and I've seen a million faces
But I couldn't stop thinking 'bout you
Remember how we'd talk for hours?
Keeping each other's secrets
Made a promise I'd take you to homecoming
But, Annie, I didn't keep it
Almost called you up when I played in Boulder
But I thought I'd just let it be
Heard you found yourself a real good man
Do you ever think of you and me?

[Chorus:]
It's no surprise the light in your little girl's eyes shines like the ring on your hand
Annie, I owe you a dance

So put your groceries in the basket, I'm so sorry, now I'm asking
Like I should have twenty years ago
And I know it's all over, I'm just looking for some closure
And there's a song on the radio
You give me your hand and we start to dance
The cashier gives us a smile
As you turn and walk away, I hear your little girl say
"Momma, who was that guy?"

[Outro:]
I shouldn't be surprised the forgiveness in your eyes gave me a second chance
Annie, thanks for the dance
