You're Slipping Away from Me

Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]

My eyes are closed and yet I see

You're slipping away from me

Someone else's new charms

Are you're reason to his arms.



My lips are sealed but my heart knows

A love for someone else in your heart grows

I'm holding you're love that just can't be

You're slipping away from me.



A precious love that used to be

It's slipping away from me

And I already miss

The thrill that was in your kiss.



I know I'm loving you in vain

With all to lose and nothing left to gain

I'll soon be living with the memory

You're slipping away from me...
