I Guess I'm Gettin' Over You
Hank Thompson · Other Songs - Hank Thompson
Now everytime I hear your name just a little less I die
I find the way to live again without you now it seems
The cloudy day is clear enough less and less you're in my dreams
There are even moments without you on my mind
And there's a chance that maybe a new love I will find
I know that it's all over there's no use to pretend
That you'll come back again
I found the way to laugh again sorta laugh we used to do
Because my heart is healing now I guess I'm gettin' over you
[ trumpet - steel ]There are even moments without you on my mind
And there's a chance that maybe a new love I will find
I know that it's all over there's no use to pretend
That you'll come back again
I found the way to laugh and smile sorta laugh we used to do
Because my heart is healing now I guess I'm gettin' over you
I Guess I'm Gettin' Over You
