I Can't Lose Her Now

by Dwight Newman

 

She woke up fumblin'

looking for

an extra cover

she said her feet were cold

I know I should get up

the pilot light's out again

but I lay here listening

to this December wind

and all she knows is

she sure could use me now

 

When I was younger

I used to dream

I used to wonder

tryin' to picture this

I never imagined

this kind of achin' cold

I don't know how it happened

but we're finally getting old

and all I know is

I can't lose her now

 

I hear her whisperin' in her sleep

none of it makin' any sense

or is it my imagination

maybe she almost fell asleep

maybe she never said a word

who says I need an explanation

 

interlude

 

The early morning city sounds

through our window

bring me back again

the frost in the air

was never quite like this

and closing my eyes

as it carries me off in bliss

all I know is

I won't lose her now

all I know is

I won't lose her now

This is a song written by my brother Dwight. I'm

performing it here. It's a song that has been on

my album "The Sandhill Waltz" - the version

here is the latest edition of it though it's just a

demo. For future editions of "The Sandhill

Waltz" I plan to re-record this version.
