You Make Me Live Again
Webb Pierce · Other Songs - Webb Pierce
We parted that I'd never lose it again
She made me so blue with a love so untrue
A love I had no chance to win
Then you came along, now my heart sings a song
It haven't been singing since then
You're all that I think of you, be my true love
You make me live again
If I haven't told you that each time I hold you
My heart goes into a spin
I want you so bad, it's driving me mad
'Cause you make me live again
You make my life lighter and as I hold you tighter
I hope this is one heart I win
You're all that I think of, you be my true love
You make me live again
