IT HURTS SO MUCH TO SEE YOU GO
(Jim Reeves / Billy Guitar / Bobby Lee Warren 1965)

Jim Reeves
recorded 1965


Tonight we'll reach the hour we set for parting,
We wanted to be free, we both said so!
But the closer to that hour, the more I'm hurtin',
My heart will break, it hurts so much to see you go!

What happened to the love we knew, where did we lose it?
How can a love as sweet as ours bring heartache so?
Why does it have to end this way?
What's there to do, what can I say
When it hurts so much to see you go?

What happened to the love we knew, where did we lose it?
How can a love as sweet as ours bring heartache so?
Why does it have to end this way?
What's there to do, what can I say
When it hurts so much to see you go?
