Near You
George Jones/Tammy Wynette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Near you
Near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

There's just one place for me
There is only one place where I feel I belong
Near you
That place is right beside you
It's like heaven to be
Being near you brings me such happiness that I can only imagine it's what heaven feels like
Times when we're apart
When we are separated from each other
And I can't face my heart
I cannot bear to confront how much I miss you
Say you'll never stay

More than just two lips away
Not just a physical distance, but an emotional one too
If my hours could be spent
If I could spend all my time
Near you
Beside you
I'd be more than content
I would be completely satisfied and happy
Make my life worthwhile
Give my life purpose and meaning

By promising me that
Spend the rest of my days
I will spend the remainder of my life

Have you ever heard anything more beautiful or seen any 2 people more in love?
@markmark2080
Well, yeah, I have, but in the music world it didn't get any better than this. It's tragic how much destruction alcohol and drugs have done in relationships and society as a whole...
