A late night phone call From a number I had almost forgotten "I can stop thinking 'bout you" Were the first words on the line I felt my knees go weak But my heart went even weaker 'Cause I'd waited for that phone to ring For at least a million nights. Six years have come and gone Since you left me sleeping in our bedroom You had some dreams to chase That I couldn't understand I swore I wouldn't share my heart Or even my bed with another But the nights were cold and long Without a loving man. He ain't you but he loves me for me He looked inside And found the parts of me That you just refused to see I put you on a pedestal But you just looked down on me He ain't you, But he loves me for me. A thousand memories Made their way across the phone line The way you touched my face And the songs you used to sing All our adventures And not to mention the love we made God how my life has changed Since I put on this wedding ring He ain't you but he loves me for me He looked inside And found the parts of me That you just refused to see I put you on a pedestal But you just looked down on me He ain't you, But he loves me for me. When we finally said goodbye And I wiped the tears away I turned around and looked at you I didn't know what I would say And though I don't have fireworks There's a fire burning bright Cause there's a man who loves me And he's here with me tonight. You ain't him but you love me for me You looked inside And found the parts of me No one else could every see You put me up on a pedestal To get a better look at me You ain't him, but you love me for me Oh, you ain't him because you love me for me. |
