I'll Never Get Over You
Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never get over you
The feeling's lost in your embrace
I'll never get over you
But still I try
And still I cry
Still I'm wondering why
[Chorus]
I'll never get over you
I'll never get over you
I'll never get over you
I tell myself my heart will find
A way to get over you
When I've already lost my mind
Trying to get over you
The voice goes on
The feeling's long
But still sweet sleep never comes
[Chorus]
So now I've met the enemy
Trying to get over you
A shroud of rain, a memory
Trying to get over you
I recognize
Those crazy eyes
And still they're telling me lies
[Chorus]

Such a great song - thanks for posting. First heard it from a Jo-el Sonnier cd I purchased and when I saw that songwriter was John Hiatt I bought his album - such a great songwriter. Now I have just purchased this version.
@mysticmagicalful
