"Don't Play That Song Again"

Spring is in the air and a young man's heart turns to love.

Oh well, she came and went. This song was written a little after Randy Travis's "I told you so."

Song number 14

(refrain)   Don't play that song again, it's tearing me apart,

The one about I told you so, you knew it at the start.

The words cut like a razor as I listen to each part,

Running through my troubled mind, engraved upon my heart

Oh God I wish I'd listened when you told me you'd be mine,

You offered me your heart and soul, I was just so blind.

The sun, the moon, the stars, the world and all it's gold,

I'd give them all to turn the clock to that night I let you go.

                                                                                               

(refrain)  Don't play that song again, it's tearing me apart,

The one about I told you so, you knew it at the start.

The words cut like a razor as I listen to each part,

Running through my troubled mind, engraved upon my heart

Why couldn't I have seen it then, you knew I loved you too,

But you let me go to chase a dream, it's what I had to do.

While I was chasing rainbows, you found some-one new,

And I found a bitter heartache, cause I'm still in love with you.

(refrain)    Don't play that song again, it's tearing me apart,

The one about I told you so, you knew it at the start.

The words cut like a razor as I listen to each part,

Running through my troubled mind, engraved upon my heart
