Jim Reeves - Before I Died lyrics

No need to say you're sorry no need to feel ashamed

If I'm not the one you love don't feel you're to blame

I don't deny it hurts me and this pain is hard to hide

But at least I lived a little while before I died

I lived long enough to know the sweet thrill of your lips

I knew happiness right down to my fingertips

You'll always be a part of me though you can't be mine

At least I lived a little while before I died

[ steel ]

Don't ask me to forget you cause you mean too much to me

I couldn't even if I tried too many memories

My yesterdays were happy days and each memory's locked inside

At least I lived a little while before I died

I lived long enough to know...
