storm

Jim Reeves

That kiss you gave me this morning was just the calm before the storm
I know in my heart that you're leaving me for someone else's own
The storm sometimes comes without warning so I'm thankful that I was forewarned
It gives me a chance to speak to my heart and to brace myself for the storm
The storm is coming I can feel it and soon we'll be driven apart
You'll rush to the arms of your new love deserting a broken heart
If there was a way I could hold you with words that are tender and warm
I'd rise and challenge the oncoming waves and defend our love from the storm
I'd rise and challenge the oncoming waves and defend our love from the storm
