I CAN TELL
(Lefty Frizzell / Abe Mulkey)

Lefty Frizzell - 1964




I can't tell by the sun the time of the day
I can't tell by the moon when you go away
But I can tell when I'm holdin' you there must be someone new
There's a love, another love, I can tell I'm losin' you

I can't tell by the moon why you come back each time
If I could reach the stars I'd know your love was never mine
But I can tell by your kisses that it won't be very long
That you'll break my heart again, I can feel it comin' on

I can't tell right from wrong, I can't tell night from day
When you're on my mind when you're away
But I can tell when I'm holdin' you there's no love in your heart
And it won't be very long that once again we'll be apart

I can't tell by the sun the time of the day
I can't tell by the moon just when you go away
But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new
There's a love, another love, for I feel I'm losin' you

But I can tell by your kisses there must be someone new
There's a love, another love, for I feel I'm losin' you
