Lyric
Your old cheatin’ heart has finally caught youA thousand times I told you that it wouldA great big wall has come between usAnd I wouldn’t even love you if I couldSo don’t think it ain’t been fun cause it ain’tDon’t think I still can’t care cause I can’tDon’t think my mind won’t change cause it won’tDon’t think I don’t love you cause I don’tWell all my tossing and turning nights are overI don’t even feel a touch of bluesOnce more I can see the sun a shiningShining though I know I’m over youSo don’t think it ain’t been fun cause it ain’t…Don’t think I don’t love you cause I don’tWhen I found somebody new I thought I never wouldForget you for I thought then I never couldBut time has taken all the pains awayUntil now I’m down to hurtin’ once a dayOnce a day all day longAnd once a night from dusk till dawnThe only time I wish you weren’t goneIs once a day every day all day longI’m so glad that I’m not like a guy I knew one timeHe lost the one he loved then slowly lost his mindHe sat around and cried his life awayLucky me I’m only crying once a dayOnce a day all day long…Once a day every day all day longOh the promise of tomorrow will banish all your sorrowNo need to grieve if you believeThere will be a brighter future and a way preparedTo suit your every need if you believeIf you believe so will it be it’s true for you it’s true for meSomewhere down that narrow road he’ll relieve your heavy loadLife’s supreme reward receive if you believeIf your life is not inspiring and your days are long and tiringRest receive when you believeNothing here below can measure up to heaven’s lasting treasureBe not deceived only believeIf you believe so will it be…
