Lyric
You always had an eye for things that glitteredBut I was far from being made of goldI don’t know how, but I scraped up the moneyI just never could quite tell you noJust like when you were leaving AmarilloTaking that new job in TennesseeAnd I quit mine so we could be togetherI can’t forget the way you looked at meJust to see you smileI’d do anything that you wanted me toWhen all is said and doneI’d never count the cost, it’s worth all that’s lostJust to see you smileWhen you said time was all you really neededI walked away and let you have your space‘Cause leavin’ didn’t hurt me near as badlyAs the tears I saw rollin’ down your faceAnd yesterday I knew just what you wantedWhen you came walkin’ up to me with himSo I told you that I was happy for youAnd given the chance, I’d lie againJust to see you smileI’d do anything that you wanted me toWhen all is said and doneI’d never count the cost, it’s worth all that’s lostJust to see you smile (just see you smile)I’d do anything that you wanted me toWhen all is said and doneI’d never count the cost, it’s worth all that’s lostJust to see you smile
