Phil Christie: Music
Rearview Mirror
(Phil Christie)

Phil Christie
Midnight moon on a night muddy black as coal
Trail of dust and a heavy load
Everything I once held dear in my rear view mirror
Distant lights on the edge of town
She was shining in her wedding gown
Wipe away a lonely tear in my rear view mirror
She loved me once more than I deserved
But I tried to cage that little bird
Didn't take long before she had to fly
Desert wind blows a tumbleweed up on the rise
One love grows and baby one love dies
Drive until it disappears in my rear view mirror
She wore yellow flowers in her hair
Sunlight around her like a prayer
She said "I do", he smiled, they waved good-bye
Open road stretches out as far as I can see
Satin lace staring back at me
A sentimental souvenir for my rear view mirror
