Country Acoustic
I am just a songwriter trying to get my music heard.
Lyrics
I'LL STILL HAVE YOU
CAPO 2
VERSE 1:
D
AS I OPENED MY EYES,
BM
TO THE BRIGHT BLUE MORNIN SKY,
G D A
I COULD SEE YOU THERE LYIN NEXT TO ME.
D
I BRUSHED THE HAIR BACK FROM YOU FACE,
BM
TOOK YOU IN A WARM EMBRACE,
G A D
AND PRESSED MY LIPS AGAINST YOUR CHEEK SO TENDERLY.
VERSE 2:
I SLOWLY LIFTED UP YOUR CHIN.
I SAID, "GIRL WHERE HAVE YO BEEN?"
I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE FOREVER AND A DAY.
AS SHE RAISED HER EYES TO MINE,
I SAW HER SMILE ONE LAST TIME,
AND THEN THE LIGHTNING CRASHED, HER SMILE FADED AWAY.
VERSE 3:
I SAT UP IN MY BED.
THE THUNDER RATTLED IN MY HEAD,
AND MY MIND SLOWLY CAME BACK TO ME.
I SAID I CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS.
IT JUST HURTS TO MUCH TO MISS,
ALL THE TIMES WE LOVED AND LAUGHED SO ENDLESSLY.
VERSE 4:
BUT THEN A LITTLE GIRL RUSHED IN,
JUST AS THE LIGHNING FLASHED AGAIN,
AND SAID, "OH DADDY I'M SO SCARED CAN I STAY WITH YOU?"
AND AS SHE RAN ACROSS THE FLOOR,
I SAW YOUR LOVING SMILE ONCE MORE,
AND KNEW AS LONG AS I HAVE HER, I'LL STILL HAVE YOU.
OH AS LONG AS I HAVE HER, I'LL STILL HAVE YOU.
END:
AND AS I OPENED MY EYES,
TO THE BRIGHT BLUE MORNIN SKY,
I COULD SEE YOU THERE LYIN NEXT TO ME.
