WHO CAN I COUNT ON?
(Masters)

as recorded by Patsy Cline
1961


Who can I count on if I can't count on you?
I never counted on you makin' me blue!
They say you're a-runnin' 'round with somebody new,
Who can I count on if I can't count on you?

I thought I held a precious key to heaven,
Your love was sweet and gentle at the start,
But now I feel that I can't go on livin'
If livin' means that we must live apart!

Who can I count on if I can't count on you?
There goes my happiness and here comes the blues!
I can't convince myself that we're really through,
Who can I count on if I can't count on you?

The door to happiness was almost open,
Just one more step or two and I'd be in.
Then all at once the vows you made were broken,
The door to happiness was closed again!

Who can I count on if I can't count on you?
There goes my happiness and here comes the blues!
I can't convince myself that we're really through,
Who can I count on if I can't count on you?
Who can I count on?
Who can I count on?
Who can I count on if I can't count on you?
