Key of A - waltz tempo
Daylight has found me here again,
you can ask me anything, but where I've been.
Things that used to matter seem so small,
when you're looking for a soft place to fall.
Don't misunderstand me, baby please,
I didn't mean to bring back memories.
You should know the reason why I called,
I was looking for a soft place to fall.
-Chorus-
Looking for a soft place,
nothing more than a small taste.
Of a love that ended long ago.
Looking for a place to hide,
a warm bed on a cold night
I didn't mean to hurt you,
no, no, no.
-Fiddle Break-
Looking out your window at the dawn,
baby, when you wake up I'll be gone.
You're the one who taught me after all,
how to find a soft place to fall.
You're the one who taught me after all,
how to find a soft place to fall.
