As of Now

George Jones · Close Together as You and Me (w.Melba Montgomery) [1967]

Melba Montgomery



As of now I'm startin' my life over

You're gonna see a great change in me

Those dark clouds overhead are hangin' by a thread

And soon they'll break and fall, just wait and see.



As of now I'm listenin' for a new love

One I can always depend upon

Remember what I say I'll have a better day

Like the ones I had before you came along



As I now I'm gaining back my pride

Soon I'll have a new love by my side

One I can rely on to be true

And hope he don't turn out like you.

As of now I'm goona be a new girl

You'll see a change in me all over boy

And you won't know me then, you'll just remember when

You used me in a game just like a toy.



As of now I'm stoppin' all my weepin'

I'm tired of feelin' sorry for myself

It's time I had to fall, it's over and it's done

Now I'll go celebrate 'cause you left.



As I now I'm gaining back my pride

Soon I'll have a new love by my side

One I can rely on to be true

And hope he don't turn out like you.



And hope he don't turn out like you...
