George Jones

(Jerry Chestnut)
I remember how your eyes used to light up
Over promises that I made
But for the first time in my life
I know now how it feels to be afraid.
I don't know what I'd do if you go away
It would sure be one lonely old town
For a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love comin' down
Love comin' down.
I remember all the times you told me
Love's all that matters to you
And looking back now, wondering how I believed
I had things more important to do.
I can see how I must have looked to you
Like some fool on a merry-go-round
Another man so busy going up in the world
I just couldn't see love goin' down
Love goin' down.
Can't you see how everything I've learned
Would just be wasted if you leave me
If you'll just give it one more try
I swear I'll always be here when you need me.
If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground
For if a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love comin' down
Love comin' down.
Love coming down...
