You've Still Got a Place in My Heart
George Jones · The Essential George Jones [Epic/Legacy] [2006]
(Leon Payne)
If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
Baby, you've still got a place in my heart
If the years should make you cry darling give me one more try
For you've still got a place in my heart.
If I'm a fool to pray that you'll come back some day
Then I'll know of million fools that love has made that way
So darling, don't forget I've been your fool since we first met
And since you've still got a place in my heart.
--- Instrumental ---
So darling, don't forget I've been your fool since we first met
Baby you've still got a place in my heart.
Darlin', you've still got a place in my heart...
If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
Baby, you've still got a place in my heart
If the years should make you cry darling give me one more try
For you've still got a place in my heart.
If I'm a fool to pray that you'll come back some day
Then I'll know of million fools that love has made that way
So darling, don't forget I've been your fool since we first met
And since you've still got a place in my heart.

So darling, don't forget I've been your fool since we first met
Baby you've still got a place in my heart.
Darlin', you've still got a place in my heart...
