I KNEW THE MOMENT I LOST YOU
(Bob Wills / Tommy Duncan)


Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys - 1940
Ernest Tubb & The Texas Troubadors - 1956
Merle Haggard - 1970





A man will have his trials and tribulations
At times he'll feel so low and so blue
But from now on I will be entirely different
For I knew the moment I lost you

Due to all my worries and my disappointments
There is still a little light shining through
Still within my heart I know there is another
For I knew the moment I lost you

(Instrumental Break)

There is nothing we can do to get along, dear
That's been proven to me and to you
So why not let's be fair to each other
For I knew the moment I lost you

If there's something I have done you've not forgiven
Just remember that I'm human same as you
So, why not consider all our mistakes, dear
For I knew the moment I lost you
