INTRO:              

                
She dropped her boy at school on time
         
One less worry on her mind
                                  
Now it's off to work and on the radio
          
Comes an old familiar song
             
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
                                             
And says he's back in town tonight for one last show

     
Her eyes well up with tears
             
God could it be it's been ten years
                                             
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
             
When two strangers shared a night
           
And in the darkness found a light
                                         
That to this day is still alive and burning there

                          
He asked her twice to come along
                                 
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
             
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
        
If it's meant to be again
                                           
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms

BREAK:        

         
The marquee misspelled his name
           
And not too many people came
                            
But that didn't matter to them
                   
They laughed and loved all through the night
            
And as they faced the morning light
                                   
They found themselves standing there again

                              
And he asked her twice to come along
                                 
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
       
As his bus left out she cried
         
With him standing by her side
                                       
That ol' wind had once again found its way home

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:              
                                

                              
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
                                              
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
            
For right now they're both in love
         
The only thing they're thinkin' of
                                                    
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been

ENDING:  REPEAT INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 3 TIMES AND FADE OUT
