HEALIN'
(Bob McDill)


Ava Barber - 1978
Bobby Bare - 1979



Well, the wounds are finally closin'
And the scars, they hardly show
And it don't hurt me quite as much
As it did a year ago

I've crossed the sea of heartache
To get from there to here
Oh, but look how far I'll be
In just another year

Ooh-oh, healin'
Oh, healin'
Healin', it takes some time I know
Ooh-oh, healin'
Yes, I'm healin'
But, oh love, I sure am healin' slow

Well, I've almost stopped the bleedin'
From this old bleedin' heart
And I know the pains I'm feelin'
Are gettin' far apart

God knows it still hurts me
But it don't hurt quite as much
And I think I'm gonna make it
If I hang on long enough

Ooh-oh, healin'
Oh, healin'
Healin', it takes some time I know
Ooh-oh, healin'
Yes, I'm healin'
But, oh love, I sure am healin' slow

But, oh love, I sure am healin' slow
