Country love is like a song gone wrong,
Like a story in a book,
Like the sun won't shine for a long time,
Like rain sparkles in a brook.

You gave me diamonds, rubies and pearls,
Flooding my heart in pure love,
Gentle and fine that can't be turned off,
Like a faucet wells above.

It's said love will never ever leave,
It won't ever leave a heart,
That the eyes of a soul tell it all,
In ways that will never part.

You are loved as much as before and,
In my dreams you'll always be,
That wonderful touch of love I want,
To have and keep close to me.

How my heart aches for love's splendor my,
Life right now hurts without you,
Won't ever be the same I miss you,
Miss the feel of that love true.

Love's mystery I can't understand,
You don't want me anymore,
That love with me now is not your thing,
That's why you walked out the door.

Tears fall since my heart's in misery,
Someday I'll get over you,
Yet in a way you belong to me,
Still waters run deep and blue.

Why does love have to die a slow death,
I can't turn off that faucet you took,
What was rightfully mine walked away,
Now it's time you took a look.

Country love is like a song gone wrong,
Like a story in a book,
Like the sun won't shine for a long time,
Like rain sparkles in a brook.
