Donna Fargo - How Close You Came to Being Gone lyrics

When I think how close you came to being gone A friend of mine is going through The same thing I did with you She's lost her man and must go on alone And she don't know if he'll come back again And I tremble 'cause I know how she feels When I think how close you came to being gone And I tell her that I turn my face to Jesus And said, let thou will be done But if you know any way of keeping him Lord, please show me one It scares me half to d**h to think Of living life alone When I think how close you came to being gone The reasons were just about the same Day after day she nagged and complained And she knows that she chased him away from home And now she begs him just like I begged you And she cries and asks me what can she do And I think how close you came to being gone And I tell her that I turn my face to Jesus And said, let thou will be done But if you know any way of keeping him Lord, please show me one It scares me half to d**h to think Of living life alone When I think how close you came to being gone When I think how close you came to being gone
