Worst Is Yet To Come

Merle Haggard · Strangers [1965]

(Liz Anderson)



Such a little time has passed since you went away

Where are all these heartaches coming from

I can hardly stand the pain of missing you today

And I know the worst is yet to come.



If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me

Then I'd go right out and get me one

I've already cried enough to fill the big blue sea

And I know the worst is yet to come.



--- Instrumental ---



There'll be all those sleepless nights when I'll just lay and cry

And the hours seem to have no end

There'll be days when it won't matter if I live or die

Wishing I could have you back again.



If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me

Then I'd go right out and get me one

I've already cried enough to fill the big blue sea

And I know the worst is yet to come...
