Jim Ed Brown - All I Had to Do Lyrics

(Ed Penney - Ron Oates)

Morning comes and spreads tomorrow on my bed so softly
I can feel the darkness grow
Leaving like the girl who walked across my world
And took the only love I'll ever know.

She was all I wanted but I guess I never told her
Now she's gone away
If I had a wish my only wish would be
That she was coming back to stay.

All I had to do to hold her, was hold her
I was always looking out for me and only thought about
All the things I had to do
All I did was turn away when all she wanted me to say was
I love you.

--- Instrumental ---

Evening starts to spread across my lonely bed so slowly
I can feel the darkness grow
Shadows bring the gloom that fills my silent room
With sounds of someone cryin' low.

I close my eyes and memorize the softness
Of her lips on my own
What's the point in being strong or being right or wrong
That point means as being alone.

All I had to do to hold her, was hold her.
All I had to do to hold her, was hold her...
