Classic Country Lyrics: "Always Wanting You" von Merle Haggard

Es heisst, Merle Haggard hätte diesen Song für
Dolly Parton geschrieben, als Liebeserklärung.
Diese soll darüber nicht besonders erfreut gewe-
sen sein- erstens war sie bereits verheiratet, und
zweitens rief Merle mitten in der Nacht an, um
ihr den Song vorzusingen.

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I
Know I'll wake up wanting you again.
Always loving you, but never touching you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never
Looked at you the second time. 
'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes 
met mine.

And there I saw a yearning and a feeling 'cross
The room that you felt for me. 
Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we 
had in mind could never be.

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I
Know I'll wake up wanting you again.
Always loving you, but never touching you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

Always wanting you, but never having you,
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.
