One Too Many Mornings
Bill Anderson · Always Remember [Decca] [1971]
Well, I woke up one too many mornings
To find that you had not yet made it home
And I sat up too many midnights crying
Till now the time for tears has come and gone.
One too many mornings
One too many midnights without you
One too many mornings left me lonely, left me crying
Left me no choice but to say goodbye to you.
And now you found I'm gonna leave you
You think it's time to say how much you care
You say you just can't live without my loving
Love you never seemed to need when it was there.
One too many mornings
One too many midnights without you
One too many mornings left me lonely, left me crying
Left me no choice but to say goodbye to you.
One too many mornings
One too many midnights without you
One too many mornings left me lonely, left me crying
Left me no choice but to say goodbye to you...
