Too Much to Gain to Lose

Connie Smith · Just For What I Am [1974]

(Joyce Reba Rambo)



Too many miles behind me

Too many trials are through

Too many tears help me to remember

But there's too much to gain to lose



Too many sunsets lie behind the mountains

Too many rivers my feet have walked through

And there's too many treasures awaiting over yonder

And there's too much to gain to lose.



--- Instrumental ---



I crossed the hot burning desert

Struggling the right road to choose

Somewhere up ahead there's cool clear water

And defeat is one word I'll never use.



Too many sunsets lie behind the mountains

Too many rivers my feet have walked through

And there's too many treasures awaiting over yonder

And there's too much to gain to lose.



Yes, there's too much to gain to lose...
