there's a penny on the floor and you're gone

the television's on

have you found another man to take my place

there's a penny on the floor and i'm wise

i try to see in your eyes

but all i see is a reflection of my face

there's a penny on the floor and you're gone

i'm trying to right what's wrong

a stronger man might do it with more grace

there's a penny on the floor and i'm wise

i look up to the skies

i cry and pray and i stare out into space



there's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door

turn around and say goodbye

a woman like you comes around just once a life



there's a penny on the floor and and i'm strong

i'll try to carry on

realizing no one can take your place

there's a penny on the floor and and i'm fine

i know it's gonna take some time

before i look at you without looking at my own face



penny on the floor i'm tired of the war

penny on the track are you coming back



there's a penny on the floor and it stays

as a tribute to the days

that were spent with you no one can take them away

there's a penny on the floor and it stays

as a tribute to the ways

you filled my soul with courage hope and grace



there's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door

turn around and say goodbye

a woman like you comes around just once a life



there's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door

turn around and say goodbye

a woman like you comes around it won't bring me down
