Sweet Little Corrina (featuring Phil Everly)
Vince Gill · These Days [2006]
Here comes my little baby
Here comes my turtle dove
She drives me crazy
She's the one that I love
She's got a way about her
That I could never turn down
I couldn't live without her
She makes the world go around.
Chorus:
Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine
You could search the world over
Right up to the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine.
She's my little angel
My little beauty queen
She never met a stranger
She's the girl of my dreams
She's a ballerina
Sweet as she can be
Ought to see the way she's smilin' at me.
Chorus:
Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine
You could search the world over
Right up to the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine.
Chorus:
Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine
You could search the world over
Right up to the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine...
