near you
George Jones with Tammy Wynette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's just one place for me
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 worth while
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

@dolfan413

Please don't try to tell me they weren't in love with each other until they died

@loisdargan1459

What a beautiful song,love the words,such a shame they couldn' spend the rest of their days together as they truly loved each other till the end.

@jimbrent6037

You dont truly love a person if you had a few men like Tammy did when George left

@francesodle6069

A woman a wife cannot tell or make a man or her husband do anything to help his family or the marriage. He has to decide to do things his self.

@thatgirlthatsme

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...

@thatgirlthatsme

@@markmark2080

@francesodle6069
