There's a penny on the floor
And you're gone
The televisions on
Have you found another man to take my place
There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise
I try to see in your eyes
But all I see is a reflection of my face
There's a penny on the floor and you're gone
I'm trying to write what's wrong
A stronger man might do it with more grace
There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise
I look up to the skies
I cry and pray
And I stare out into space
There's a penny on the floor
And you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just once a life
There's a penny on the floor and I'm strong
I try to carry on
Realizing no one can take your place
There's a penny on the floor and I'm fine
I know it's gonna take some time
Before I look at you
Without looking at my own face
A penny on the floor
I'm tired of the war
A penny on the track
Are you coming back
There's a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the days
That were spent with you
No one can take them away
There's a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope, and grace
There's a penny on the floor
And you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just a once a life
There's a penny on the floor
And you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around
It won't bring me down
And you're gone
The televisions on
Have you found another man to take my place
There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise
I try to see in your eyes
But all I see is a reflection of my face
There's a penny on the floor and you're gone
I'm trying to write what's wrong
A stronger man might do it with more grace
There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise
I look up to the skies
I cry and pray
And I stare out into space
There's a penny on the floor
And you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just once a life
There's a penny on the floor and I'm strong
I try to carry on
Realizing no one can take your place
There's a penny on the floor and I'm fine
I know it's gonna take some time
Before I look at you
Without looking at my own face
A penny on the floor
I'm tired of the war
A penny on the track
Are you coming back
There's a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the days
That were spent with you
No one can take them away
There's a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope, and grace
There's a penny on the floor
And you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just a once a life
There's a penny on the floor
And you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around
It won't bring me down

S i had to do lyric sarches for like 94585749 hours and FINALLY! i found it.
Great song.
I agree with what all of you people said about it.
At least that is how I see it. I can't even listen to this song anymore despite it's beautiful simplicity. Too painful.
