You Only Miss Her When She's Gone

from Find The One by The Coal Porters

/

lyrics

if you love them and you leave them
if you love them not for long
then you'll soon see love in shadows
you'll only miss her when she's gone

once I had a darlin' pal
I loved her every day
she was pure as mountain air
and so I said I'd stay
then came time to preacher up
then came time to pray
I lit out for my Southern home
left my wedding far away!

Chorus

once I knew a pretty gal so I snag to her my song
she joined right in on harmony
her melody so strong
this music that we made for life
could capture any ear
but I see me as a soloist
so I said I couldn't hear

it was Gatlinberg in Tennessee
one day in mid-July
I found myself a-waltztin' sweet
with a gal named Nellie Bly
I knew she was a match for me
and I told her by and by
then I met her husband Hank
and I went away to cry

Chorus

now you've heard my story
now you've heard my song
if you find someone to love
you'll know where you belong

Chorus
