Slow and steady

I saw you the other night
Down the street, you were walking
I remember when I held you tight
I felt like a million air
And you were laughing and
The sky was pink and yellow
I'm okay but I hurt you
I just took a deep breath and stared

I'll get over you in time
I'm not ready
I'll get over you in time
Slow and steady

I got a call in the middle of the night
So I drove to Oklahoma
I was there by the morning light
You were a beautiful Indian queen
And I remember when I was a kid
You were always there for the lovin'
And then I watched you drift away
I just took a deep breath and cried
I'll get over you in time
I'm not ready
I'll get over you in time
Slow and steady

Then I had a dream
And it always seemed to haunt me
And it stole my nights and days
It stole my nights and days
And if I ever wanted a new one
I have to let go of the old one
But it's so hard to say goodbye
I just took a deep breath and sighed

I'll get over you in time
I'm not ready
I'll get over you in time
Slow and steady
