Story behind the song
This is the 1st song that Donna and I ever wrote together and it took me awhile to get the demo finished on this one due to bad timing and trials of life. But I loved the lyric idea and when I wrote the music for it, it kind of reminded me of something Tim McGraw might record so I tried to sound as close to him in the studio as possible. I would love to pitch the song to him one day and I love the guitar work that Ken Gabriel did on this one. Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics
Verse 1 Mister can you help me for a minute I need to buy a dozen or two I wrote her address on this matchbook No card this time, I hope this vase will do A satin bow in red her favorite color A rose for every year by my side No note of explanation from the sender Can’t let her know about the tears I’ve cried Chorus so Don’t Tell Her It Was Me who sent the roses Don’t let her know my heart’s still on the mend I know her love for me is really over But I’d like to know I made her smile again What I wouldn’t give to get things back The way they used to be But I let her slip away So Don’t Tell Her It Was Me Verse 2 She gave me everything a man could ask for I never gave her very much at all But I’m hoping she can find a few good memories By the time those petals start to fall Repeat Chorus Bridge Well she did her best to love a restless man And I hope that when she looks at these She will understand Repeat Chorus Oh I let her slip away So Don’t Tell her It Was Me Copyright 2004 Donna Porter/Greg Austin
