there's a penny on the floor and you're gone
the television's 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 right 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 and i'm strong
i'll try to carry on
realizing no one can take your place

there's a penny on the floor and and i'm fine
i know it's gonna take some time
before i look at you without looking at my own face

penny on the floor i'm tired of the war
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 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
