It Scares Me Half to Death

George Jones · The Race Is On [Razor & Tie] [1965]

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison)



It scares me half to death to think I almost lost you

It breaks my heart to know huw much I made you cry

And if you'll let me show you darling I'll right the wrongs I've done

And ease the heartaches I have caused in the days gone by.



You told me that our love was cold

And then you said goodbye

But I can't love another

I'd be living a lie.



It scares me half to death to think I had forgotten

The vows we made to stay together come what may

And while I'm holding you my darling I'm holding my breath

'Cause just the thought of losing you scares me half to death.

It scares me half to death to think I had forgotten

The vows we made to stay together come what may

And while I'm holding you my darling I'm holding my breath

'Cause just the thought of losing you scares me half to death...
