YOU SAVED ME
(Curtis Wright)
Patty Loveless - 1987
For so long I've been on my own
Tryin' to find my heart a new home
I'd almost given up, content to spend the years
Withering in sorrow and drowning in tears
Then you saved me and my wounded pride
Saved me from dyin' inside
Freed me from those sad memories
Your love reached out and saved me
You have been a Godsend to me
He sent you here to set my heart free
No more lonely days and no more sleepless nights
A friend to take what's wrong and make it all right
Then you saved me and my wounded pride
Saved me from dyin' inside
Freed me from those sad memories
Your love reached out and saved me
(Instrumental Break)
Then you saved me and my wounded pride
Saved me from dyin' inside
Freed me from those sad memories
Your love reached out and saved me
Your love reached out and saved me
