Her résumé includes the Academy of Country Music's award for Top New Female Vocalist, the Country Music Association's Horizon Award, six top ten singles, one platinum album, and three gold albums.
After taking a brief recording hiatus in the mid-1990s to start a family with her husband, songwriter Doug Crider, Bogguss returned to the country music scene to find that her charting power had already faded. Although she last appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart in 1999, Bogguss continues to record and perform around the country to a loyal following.
Her most recent recordings have ventured into swing and jazz variations of country. These albums really showcase the tremendous talent in her voice. Suzy is a true singer, and her voice has so much versatility.
In 2014, Suzy added an album of Merle Haggard songs entitled "Lucky". The country & western flavor dominates this album, unlike some of her other recent work. To promote this new album, Suzy has embarked on a nationwide tour.

If Not You
Suzy Bogguss Lyrics
If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
Ooh, I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
The things we said today
If you leave me now
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today
If you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
Ooh, I just want you to stay
Ooh, I just gotta have you by my side
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
Ooh, I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
The things we said today
If you leave me now
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things we said today
If you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
Ooh, I just want you to stay
Ooh, I just gotta have you by my side
Ooh, no baby, please don't go
