You'll Never Know
Willie Nelson · Moonlight Becomes You [1994]
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know for heaven I told you so
A million or more times
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
[ fiddle - guitar ]
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You'll Never Know - Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson's 'You'll Never Know' appears on the 1994 album *Moonlight Becomes You*, showcasing his signature blend of country storytelling and introspective lyricism. The track exemplifies Nelson's ability to explore themes of lost love and unfulfilled potential with a gentle, acoustic-driven approach. Recorded during a period where Nelson frequently revisited his catalog with new production values, the song reflects his mature songwriting voice, characteristic of his work in the late 1990s. It stands as a testament to his enduring appeal in the country genre, capturing the quiet melancholy that defines much of his discography. The recording maintains the raw, authentic sound that has made Nelson a cornerstone of American roots music.
