Bon Jovi & Jon Bon Jovi - Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart lyrics

When I saw my reflection in her eyes

That's when I knew that it was time

I leaned over and kissed her cheek

And softly said goodbye

Against the glass I heaved a sigh

Followed the fading of it's lights

Watched the plane begin it's flight

With my eyes into the night

And I know that I'm a coward

Who couldn't even tell her

As she begged me with those eyes

Give her a reason not to fly

And it haunts me on the highway

Headin back to my place

Why oh why oh why oh why oh why

With miles between us

How could love have seen us

And given us this chance

And I hear it whisper

"Could you not have kissed her

And shown her you're a man,

Who wants nothing more in life

Than for her to be your wife?"

And I know that I'm a coward

Who couldn't even tell her

As she begged me with those eyes

Give her a reason not to fly

And it haunts me on the highway

Headin back to my place

Why oh why oh why oh why oh why

With miles between us

How could love have seen us

And given us this chance

And I hear it whisper

"Could you not have kissed her

And shown her you're a man,

Who wants nothing more in life

Than for her to be your wife?"

Should I laugh?

Should I cry?

Should I get back in my car and drive

fifteen hours to make things right?
