Even After Everything She's Done
Charley Pride · The Sensational Charley Pride [RCA Victor] [1969]
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
Yesterday, tomorrow seemed a million years away
But here it is just twenty four hours later and I find that I still miss someone
I said I could despise her by the dawn of another day
But there's the sun and I don't hate her even after everything she's done.
I convice myself I'd get her off my mind
A good night sleep and things would be all right
But I woke up this morning and now I realize
That I can't forget her over night.
I've tried to make myself believe that I'm much better off
I've told myself she's nothing special and I still find that she's the only one
And if I'd live a million years I know I'd never change
I'd take her back and I'd forgive her even after everything she's done.
Even after everything she's done even after everything she's done...
