I Lived For A While

Dave Dudley · Other Songs - Dave Dudley

My life began when I met you I lived while I was with you

Then died when you told me goodbye

Yes I died when you told me goodbye but I lived oh yes I lived for a while

Loving you was so nice like paradise tender warm and so real

Then mem'ries from the past made you believe it couldn't last

Now you're gone oh but I lived for a while

[ guitar ]Loving you was so nice...

Now you're gone oh but I lived for a while
