TEN THOUSAND AND ONE
(Pat Bunch / Dan Mitchell)
Connie Smith - 1979
If I'd left you the first time you hurt me
The hurt might already be gone
But I love you so much that I can't live without you
And somehow I've kept hanging on
My love's strong enough to live through your weakness
And forget each bad thing as it's done
I've given you ten thousand chances
And here goes ten thousand and one
Ten thousand and one, ten thousand and one
As sure as the morning will come
Ten thousand chances and I've just begun
Here goes ten thousand and one
I marvel my love just grows stronger
No matter what you do wrong
I can't shake the feeling God made me for you
And it keeps me right where I belong
Ten thousand and one, ten thousand and one
As sure as the morning will come
Ten thousand chances and I've just begun
Here goes ten thousand and one
Here goes ten thousand and one
