You Snap Your Fingers
Charley Pride · Burgers and Fries [RCA Victor] [1978]
(John Schweers)
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
I cried a river washin' your mem'ry away
And I finally made it at least till you phoned me today
And I nearly hung up but teardrops destroyed my plan
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
Startin' all over right back where I've always been
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
--- Instrumental ---
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands...
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
I cried a river washin' your mem'ry away
And I finally made it at least till you phoned me today
And I nearly hung up but teardrops destroyed my plan
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
Startin' all over right back where I've always been
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
--- Instrumental ---
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands...
