She Still Loves Me
Mel Tillis · M-M-Mel [1975]
(Sherry Bryce)
I caught her crying as she washed my clothes
That lipstick on my shirt told all she had to know
Put my arms around her she turned her face to me
She threw her arms around me
And let that shirt drop to my feet.
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me.
She tried to smile at me and wipe her tears away
And searched through all the words I knew for anything to say
But she'd heard it all before and when I tried to speak
She put her fingers on my lips and then she said to me.
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me.
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me.
That through it all she still loves me...
I caught her crying as she washed my clothes
That lipstick on my shirt told all she had to know
Put my arms around her she turned her face to me
She threw her arms around me
And let that shirt drop to my feet.
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me.
She tried to smile at me and wipe her tears away
And searched through all the words I knew for anything to say
But she'd heard it all before and when I tried to speak
She put her fingers on my lips and then she said to me.
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me.
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me.
That through it all she still loves me...
