I LIVED A LIFETIME IN A DAY
(Marion Worth)

Marty Robbins - 1964




When I met you, I knew I couldn't keep you
And nothin' I could do would make you stay
But my darlin', I'm not bitter over things that just can't be
For with you I lived a lifetime in a day

I remember every tender word you spoke, dear
Each tender touch, each time you looked my way
And the secrets that we shared will be my secret
For with you I lived a lifetime in a day

I'm not sorry that I knew your kind of love
If I've sinned, then the price I'll gladly pay
To my lonely life you brought the sunshine
For with you I lived a lifetime in a day

(Instrumental Break)

I'm not sorry that I knew your kind of love
If I've sinned, then the price I'll gladly pay
To my lonely life you brought the sunshine
For with you I lived a lifetime in a day
