Artist/Band: Faron Young
Lyrics for Song: Half a Man
Lyrics for Album: Funny How Time Slips Away (Faron Young & Willie Nelson) [Columbia [1987]



(Willie Nelson)



If I only had one arm to hold you

Better yet if I had none at all

Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache for you

And there'd be one less mem'ry to recall.



And if I only had one ear to listen

To the lies that you told to me

Then I'd more closely resemble

The half a man that you've made of me.



--- Instrumental ---



If I only had one leg to stand on

Then how much much truer picture you'd see

'Cause then I'd more closely resemble

The half a man that you've made of me.



For then I'd more closely resemble

The half a man that you've made of me...
