I'll Never Grow Tired of You
Patty Loveless · Honky Tonk Angel [1988]
(Carter Stanley)
It's been a long time since you drifted away
Now there's nothing to live for it seems
But darling, no matter where you are tonight
Your here with me in my dreams.
I'll never grow tired of you, sweetheart
No matter what you may do
They tell me lately your livin' so wrong
But I'll never grow tired of you.
I see your two blue eyes each night in my dreams
When I awake you're not there
Come back to me and let's start life anew
Losing you's so hard to bear.
I'll never grow tired of you, sweetheart
No matter what you may do
They tell me lately your livin' so wrong
But I'll never grow tired of you.
--- Instrumental ---
I still wonder why you drifted away
From the happiness that might have been
I vision the time some day you'd be mine
And cherrish the love I can't win.
I'll never grow tired of you, sweetheart
No matter what you may do
They tell me lately your livin' so wrong
But I'll never grow tired of you...
It's been a long time since you drifted away
Now there's nothing to live for it seems
But darling, no matter where you are tonight
Your here with me in my dreams.
I'll never grow tired of you, sweetheart
No matter what you may do
They tell me lately your livin' so wrong
But I'll never grow tired of you.
I see your two blue eyes each night in my dreams
When I awake you're not there
Come back to me and let's start life anew
Losing you's so hard to bear.
I'll never grow tired of you, sweetheart
No matter what you may do
They tell me lately your livin' so wrong
But I'll never grow tired of you.

They tell me lately your livin' so wrong
But I'll never grow tired of you...
