This Song Is Just for You
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
Of all the songs the world is singing
Of dreams that do and don't come true
I guess I've sung about a million
But darling, this one's just for you.
I don't care if the world can't hear it playing
If it's never number one or two
I just want to tell how much I love you
So darling, this song's just for you.
What do they care about my troubles
If my whole world suddenly falls through
You'll be the one who'll stand beside me
So darling, this song's just for you...
