Down on My Knees
Trisha Yearwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes you wonder
How much I care
I get so distracted, running nowhere
And I take for granted
Our love is secure
But if I started losing you
One thing is sure
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

I learned to be strong
A long time ago
And I can face any wind, no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger, than I want to be
If I had to live without, you loving me

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

No one matters more in my life
Oh, makes me feel like you make me feel inside
I've come far enough to know love's
Worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Whatever it takes
I'd be beggin' and pleadin' with you




Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

Has Trisha Yearwood ever recorded a bad song?I think not. This is one of my favorites.Her voice is superb, still to this day in 2016.

That's why her albums mostly nominated at the Grammys. Even her filler songs were good.

This is a beautiful song, I heard it when I bought the album "Hearts Of Armor". I always wished it could have been more popular. Thank you for posting this video, I never thought I would see it again.
