Don't Let Me Stand in Your Way
Skeeter Davis · The Pop Hits Collection (Taragon) [2003]
I love you now and I always will
But I won't ask you to stay
If she's the girl that you're dreaming of
Don't let me stand in your way.
I can't pretend you're not breaking my heart
But if our love has seen its day
Don't let her go 'cause you're sorry for me
Don't let me stand in your way.
I know that I would have nothing to gain
By trying to hold on to you
And in the end it would bring me more pain
'Cause I'd make you unhappy too.
I'll still be here if you change your mind
Till then there's nothing left to say
So if you're sure she's the girl for you
Don't let me stand in your way.
Yes, I'll still be here if you change your mind
Till then there's nothing left to say
So if you're sure she's the girl for you
Don't let me stand in your way.
Oh, don't let me stand in your way.
No, don't let me stand in your way...
