Lyrics
(Verse 1) Black dress, Sunday shoes, standin' by the oak Daddy's gone, too soon, another heart broke Then I saw you standin' there, 'cross the hallowed ground Like a ghost from yesterday, barely made a sound (Chorus) Whiskey tears and wildflower dreams, that's all we ever were A tangled mess of laughter lines and secrets we preferred Ten years faded like a Polaroid, turned a sepia tone Now we're standin' at a funeral, feelin' so alone (Verse 2) Remember buildin' forts beneath the summer sun? Swearin' we'd be best friends 'til the day was done Then high school came and went, different paths we chose Silence grew between us, like a thorny rose (Chorus) Whiskey tears and wildflower dreams, that's all we ever were A tangled mess of laughter lines and secrets we preferred Ten years faded like a Polaroid, turned a sepia tone Now we're standin' at a funeral, feelin' so alone (Bridge) (Playful, almost sarcastic tone) Funny how tragedy can bring you back to life Back to the girl I used to be, without all the strife Maybe daddy's lookin' down, givin' us a wink Sayin' 'bout damn time you two kids reconnect, I think! (Chorus) Whiskey tears and wildflower dreams, that's all we ever were A tangled mess of laughter lines and secrets we preferred Ten years faded like a Polaroid, turned a sepia tone Now we're standin' at a funeral, feelin' so alone (Outro) So alone, but not really, 'cause you're standin' here with me Maybe whiskey tears and wildflower dreams, are meant to be, meant to be.
