lyrics

Life moves like a train
With no conductor, no tracks and no brakes
Life can feel like a game
Where they change the rules every time that you play
And I can’t count all the ways
My plans have been dashed by some new twist of fate
But still I know, it’s a truth beyond faith
That I will be looking on your smiling face

Under the magnolia tree
Some sunny day
Under the magnolia tree
Yeah, I’ll meet you there when things turn out okay

Today has stolen my pride
Tracing the tracks of the tears from my eyes
Today no matter how hard I tried
I stayed in the dark, could not turn on the light
And I have never been the type
To ignore the road while I’m searching for signs
But still I know in my heart that it’s right
And I will be seeing you, seeing me, seeing you, sometime

Under the magnolia tree
Some starry night
Under the magnolia tree
Yeah, I’ll meet you there when things turn out alright

You win and you lose
There’s greens and there’s blue
But we’re gonna pull through
Cause I’ll be seeing you

Under the magnolia tree
Some sunny day
Under the magnolia tree
Yeah, I’ll meet you there when things turn out okay

Under the magnolia tree
Some starry night
Under the magnolia tree
Yeah, I’ll meet you there when things turn out alright
