When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
As I watched
As he tried to re-assemble it
And my momma swore
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darling,
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Ohhhhh
You are the only exception (4x)
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
