She said her mind was made up,
Dia bilang pikirannya sudah bulat,
As she put on her make-up,
Saat dia merias wajahnya,
Said there was nothing here for her,
Dia bilang tidak ada yang bisa dia dapatkan di sini,
She just packed up her suitcase,
Dia langsung mengemas kopernya,
And she walked right out that front gate,
Dan dia berjalan keluar dari gerbang depan itu,
With her taxi waiting at the curb,
Dengan taksi menunggu di pinggir jalan.

Too many empty nights alone,
Terlalu banyak malam sepi sendirian,
Too late I realize,
Terlambat aku menyadari,
It's a cryin' shame it took her tears,
Sungguh menyedihkan butuh air matanya,
To open up my eyes,
Untuk membuka mataku.

I should have seen, Abeline,
Seharusnya aku melihat, Abeline,
On her mind,
Ada di pikirannya,
Her leavin' me, and Tennessee,
Dia meninggalkanku, dan Tennessee,
Far behind,
Tinggal jauh di belakang,
Should have seen her growin' lonely,
Seharusnya aku melihat dia semakin kesepian,
All alone there waitin' on me,
Sendirian menunggu aku di sana,
All the warning signs were there,
Semua tanda peringatan sudah ada,
But I was blind,
Tapi aku buta,
I should have seen Abeline,
Seharusnya aku melihat Abeline,
On her mind,
Ada di pikirannya,

Last night the band played Dallas,
Tadi malam band bermain di Dallas,
I sang the song I wrote about us,
Aku menyanyikan lagu yang kutulis tentang kita,
And you could feel the sadness in the air,
Dan kau bisa merasakan kesedihan di udara,
After the show was over,
Setelah pertunjukan selesai,
I had a hand lay on my shoulder,
Aku merasakan tangan di bahuku,
Turned around and found her standin' there,
Berbalik dan menemukan dia berdiri di sana,

She said after all these years,
Dia bilang setelah semua tahun ini,
It's nice to know your dreams came true,
Senang rasanya tahu mimpimu jadi kenyataan,
And the wedding band there on her hand,
Dan cincin pernikahan di tangannya,
Told me that hers had to,
Mengatakan padaku bahwa miliknya juga harus.

I should have seen, Abeline,
Seharusnya aku melihat, Abeline,
On her mind,
Ada di pikirannya,
Her leavin' me, and Tennessee,
Dia meninggalkanku, dan Tennessee,
Far behind,
Tinggal jauh di belakang,
Should have seen her growin' lonely,
Seharusnya aku melihat dia semakin kesepian,
All alone there waitin' on me,
Sendirian menunggu aku di sana,
All the warning signs were there,
Semua tanda peringatan sudah ada,
But I was blind,
Tapi aku buta,
I should have seen Abeline,
Seharusnya aku melihat Abeline,
On her mind,
Ada di pikirannya,
I should have seen Abeline,
Seharusnya aku melihat Abeline,
On her mind,
Ada di pikirannya,
Abeline,
Abeline,
On her mind
Ada di pikirannya.
