You're Right (But I Wish You Were Wrong)
Faron Young · Young at Heart: The Hillbilly Heart-Throb [Jasmine [2005]
If you think I'm gonna cry because you said goodbye
You're right but I wish you were wrong
If you think I'll dream of you and wish that you'd been true
You're right but I wish you were wrong.
There's no used in pretending that my love isn't true
If you were blind you still could see how much I care for you
If you think thetre'll never be another love for me
You're right but I wish you were wrong.
--- Instrumental ---
If you think I'm gonna cry because you said goodbye
You're right but I wish you were wrong
If you think I'll dream of you and wish that you'd been true
You're right but I wish you were wrong.
I should have known right from the start
Your love was not for me
If I'd had just gone on my way
My heart might still be free.
If you think I'm gonna pray
That you'll come back some day
You're right but I wish you were wrong...
