Crystal Gayle - This Is My Year For Mexico lyrics

rate me

You no longer notice if I'm wearin' perfume<br />

I seldom hear a lovin' word from you<br />

Your attention's wrapped up in the mornin' paper<br />

And I feel a restless yearnin' for somethin' new.<br />

We used to whisper love across the nighttime<br />

Now we never whisper nor recall<br />

Our love is left upon the shelf of winter<br />

Where the sunlight never touches it at all.<br />

It's a habit for us to be together<br />

We sit and watch the deadly shadows grow<br />

Every day last year I left for California<br />

This is my year for Mexico.<br />

Your back is turned to me while you are reading<br />

I close my eyes while I pretend to doze<br />

From the road I hear the sound of passing traffic<br />

Some of them are bound for Mexico.<br />

It's a habit for us to be together<br />

We sit and watch the deadly shadows grow<br />

Every day last year I left for California<br />

This is my year for Mexico.
