 Intro - - - -

She said her mind was made up

As she put on her make-up

Said there was nothing here for her

She just packed up her suitcase

And she walked right out that fromt gate

With her taxi waiting at the curb

Too many empty nights alone

 Too late I realize

 It's a cryin shame it took her tears

 To open up my eyes

 I should have seen Abel - ine

 On her mind

 Her leaving me and Tennes - see

 Far behind

 Should have seen her growing lonely

 All alone there waiting on me

 All the warning signs were there

 But I was blind

 I should have seen Abel - ine

 On her mind

( - - - - )

Last night the band played Dallas

I sang the song I wrote about us

 And you could feel the sadness in the air

After the show was over

I felt a hand lay on my shoulder

Turned around and found her standing there

 She said after all these years

 It's nice to know your dreams came true

 And the wedding band there on her hand

 Told me that hers had too

 I should have seen Abel - ine

 On her mind

 Her leaving me and Tennes - see

 Far behind

 Should have seen her growing lonely

 All alone there waiting on me

 All the warning signs were there

 But I was blind

 I should have seen Abel - ine

 On her mind

 I should have seen Abe - line,

 On her mind

 Abel - ine,

 On her mind...
