Only One Thing Left to Do

Dottie West · Careless Hands [RCA Victor] [1971]

(William C. Rainsford)



It's been many years now since you left me

But your love and your mem'ries they're still like you

I've tried everything I could to forget you

Now there's only one thing left to do.



I know it's not right this way I'm thinking

But then nothing's been right since you said we were through

I just can't stand another minute of this hurtin'

So there's only one thing left to do.



Now I hope God will understand and forgive me

And let me find the peace that I once knew

And meets me at the gates of heaven and says it's all right it's all right

It was the only thing left to do.



I only hope that God meets me at the gates of heaven and says it's all right

It was the only thing left to do...
