George Strait
House Across the Bay
[Verse 1]
Walking 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
There was sunshine everyday
And we'd love the night away
In that house across the bay
