Mistie Girl
Maddie Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He couldn't help but wish that it was him
She was with
Trying to quiet the conversation he was having with himself
When she met eyes with him
Was she lookin' his direction he couldn't tell
Should he take a few steps forward, might as well
Fixin' to leave before she cast her spell
He said, Mistie girl,
If I can have this dance, You can have my world
Lay it all on the line.
If you say that you'll be mine.
Oh Mistie, Mistie girl.
Eight months till they shared their first kiss
Couple years they settled down in Harvest Ridge
Seasons came and went and they had a couple kids
Before the cancer set it
Oh, times were cold as the winter wind
He said, Mistie girl,
If I can have this dance, you can have my world
Lay it all on the line
And God will make it right
Oh Mistie, Mistie girl.
Remember when I said
I Couldn't go on without you
Never thought I'd see that day.
Can you feel the angels all about you?
If you listen I can hear them say.
Mistie girl leave behind the troubles of your world.
You laid it all on the line.
Come with us tonight.
Oh Mistie.
And he said, Mistie girl I'm so glad we danced.
You are my whole world.
Lay it all on the line
If you say that you'll be mine
Oh Mistie. Mistie girl.
Oh Mistie. Mistie girl
