Woke up one morning she left me that cold cruel day 
Said she was going to Nashville to have a Hayday 

My heart ached for months on end
Thinking pieces would never mend

Than a smile came strolling my way
I've never been happier I must say

She was the glue that bonded my heart together
Our hearts intertwined overcoming the stormy weather

Then one day snuggled up on the couch to watch TV 
My eyes teared my old flame was on the Grand Ole Opry

My heart fluttered for one quick second 
Then the thought came to me
I would not be happy today if she hadn't left on that cold cruel day
