Lyrics

The south wind was blowing so hard I couldn't hear myself think
You were packing your bags with out warning I felt my heart sink
I stared out the window at the fading sun
Said I guess I was wrong I thought I was enough
You took my hand and said you'd be back and you didn't blink

I tore your picture apart piece by piece
But I taped it back together cause I got to weak

So I burned a picture last night
Lit it with a match and said good bye
And as the smoke was risin
I took one last look in your eyes
It was a beautiful sight
With wine and candlelight
When I burned your picture last night

Today I cleaned my closet out and gave away your favorite shoes
And now theres nothing left around here to remind me of you
Except the empty space that you left behind
And the sound of your voice that I have memorized
But that will fade with time like memories do

Now I'm lookin ahead tryin' to stay brave
As I'm standing here staring at this empty frame

Cause I burned a picture last night
Lit it with a match And said good bye
And as the smoke was rising
I took one last look in your eyes
It was a beautiful sight
With wine and candlelight
When I burned your picture last night

Bridge-

When the phone rang at 9 I saw it was you
I knew I shouldn't answer but I wanted to
You told me you loved me you felt so alone
You made a mistake and you wanna come home
I said sorry baby I'm gonna hang up the phone

That's when I burned a picture last night
Lit it with a match And said good bye
And as the smoke was rising
I took one last look in your eyes
It was a beautiful sight
With wine and candlelight
When I burned your picture last night


You know
That's when I burned your picture
And now its gone forever
And I'll never have to look into your eyes
It was a beautiful sight
With wine and candlelight
When I burned your picture last night

The south wind was blowin so hard I couldn't hear myself think
