lyrics
Ernest Tubb
It's a gorgeous day, there's no doubt
It makes you warm within and without
And in its glow you so plainly see
I am not, I am not what I used to be
You kiss my cheek and then turn away
I watch you leave and wish you could stay
I say “goodbye”, but you cannot hear
Dry my eyes, dry my eyes as you disappear
And I'm a-walking the floor
I'm walking the floor
I'm walking the floor over you
Got Mister Tubb here to sing for me
In all his melancholic glory
With every warbling refrain
Wish I was, wish I was your Blue-Eyed Elaine
And though you come back home every night
Grin and pretend you're doing alright
You say the words and you play the part
You are gone, you are gone from this broke-down heart
And I'm a-walking the floor
I'm walking the floor
I'm walking the floor over you
I want to sink down
I want to drink just a
trifle too much
So I can think, so I can think
that I have loved you enough
I just waltz on across the room
Hum along to that shuffling tune
Fill my glass, as the stereo spins
I want to know, want to know you could want me again
And I'm a-walking the floor
I'm walking the floor
I'm walking the floor over you
And I'm a-walking the floor
I'm walking the floor
I'm walking the floor over you
