ONCE AGAIN
(Johnny Duncan)


Charley Pride - 1971



The telephone rings and I tremble
Knowing what it means if I talk to you
Your sweet lips will whisper "Darlin' I love you and need you"
And once again I'll do the things I shouldn't do

And once again I'll come to you, my heart just won't let go
When you whisper my name, I lose all control
And once again I'll leave my world behind and rush to you and then
I'll be happy till I leave you once again

(Instrumental Break)

The price we pay for love is almost too high
But I can't find the strength to end it all
Many times I've thought of ways I could tell you
Then forget the minute when I hear your call

And once again I'll reach heaven in your lovin' arms
Only you could ever make me feel this way
And once again I'll taste the bitter sweetness of your goodbye tears
And I'll live for when I see you once again
Yes, I'll live for when I see you once again
