Nelson - Be Still Lyrics

After so many years tryin’ to set it free The pain seems to fade but it never leaves The memories haunt me and I wish they’d let me be I gambled on love and it tore me apart Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart Be still my heart! I wasn’t born wise but I learned this much Though you took all I gave it was never enough There was a time I’d have died for your soul, your strength, your touch But I’ll leave it behind, try to make a new start Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart Let the pain fade away It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream You lit fire to my soul and you said you’d never leave It’s tearin’ me up, baby, where have you been? Oh, please, oh please, oh please! please just understand me And what this nonsense means. oh, yeah! I gave up my dreams to let you inside Boy, you sure took my momma;s little boy for a ride I’ll never know how I coulda ben so blind Well, I gambled on love and it tore me apart Oh! be still, be still, be still, my broken heart Be still, be still, be still, my broken heart Be still my heart! my broken heart Let the pain fade away! Just a small town floozy a ’name’ a backwater lucy, Drivin’ me down and down and down and down (be still my heart) oh yeah!! That’s what I get for bein’ lazy, woman’s drivin’ me crazy Drivin’ me down and down and down and down and down (be still my heart) Nelson Lyrics Be Still Lyrics
