Time to go back. Waaaay back. To 1998.

Today I feel like I need a little Diamond Rio (1998) in my life. So, here’s my favorite song of theirs….

I said hello I think I'm broken, and though I was only jokin', it took me by surprise when you agreed. I was tryin' to be clever, for the life of me I never would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead.

You knew all my lines, you knew all my tricks. You knew how to heal that pain, no medicine can fix. And I bless the day I met you, and I thank God that He let you lay beside me for a moment that lives on. And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together. And the bad news is you're gone.

Lookin' back it's still surprisin', I was sinking you were rising. With a look you caught me in mid-air. Now I know God has His reasons, but sometimes it's hard to see them. When I awake and find that you're not there. You found hope in hopeless, you made crazy sane. You became the missing link, that helped me break my chains. And I bless the day I met you, and I thank God that He let you lay beside me for a moment that lives on. And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together. And the bad news is you're gone.

The bad news is you're gone
