Lyrics Peter Cincotti - Madeline

She's got her head on the pillow
She's got her hands in my hair
She's got her eyes halflyopen
I've got my lips everywhere
And I can feel the love she's feeling
And she whispers in my ear
But it's another voice I hear
And it would kill her if she knew
When she talks to me I'm hearing you

Oh Madeline
Always in the back of my mind
I'm trying so hard to move on
But you're the wall that I can't climb

I'm gonna put the diamond on her finger
I'm gonna say the words "I do"
I'm gonna watch her walk down the aisle
And I'm gonna make believe it's you
And then we're gonna kiss with our arms around each other
Like a wrap I wouldn't twist
So many chances missed
I wanna crawl out of my skin
When I think about what could have been

Oh, Madeline
Always in the back of my mind
I'm trying so hard to move on
But not seeing you is like going blind

And I thought the time
Would heal the wounds and lessen the pain
But I will spend the rest of my life
Silently screaming the name

Madeline
Always in the back of my mind
I'm trying so hard to move on
Not seeing you is like going blind

She's got her head on the pillow
She's got her hands in my hair
She sees the one that she wanted
And I see you everywhere
