Those Wonderful Years
Webb Pierce · Other Songs - Webb Pierce
Even though you left me I'll hide my cry to be with you
I throw back my head just to hold back my tears
For I'll never forget those wonderful years
I'll never forget those wonderful years
(Should you meet someone to tell you you were right for leaving me
Tears don't keep me waiting I'll tell you to our eternity)
Yes I throw back my head...
(I throw back my head just to hold back my tears)
I'll never forget those wonderful years
I'll never forget those wonderful years
