Slaid Cleaves - Don`t Tell Me

On a pawn shop radio I heard your favorite song
I could almost hear you whisper in my ear
But I know that you are gone

Don't tell me it's all right
Don't tell me not to cry
You've got to admit
You got a better deal than I
If I could turn the hands of time
I'd turn 'em back til you were mine
But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight
Don't tell me it's all right

In a dim lit restaurant you spoke with a breaking voice
Between the wine and the after dinner smoke
I realized I had no choice

Don't tell me it's all right
Don't tell me not to cry
You've got to admit
You got a better deal than I
If I could turn the hands of time
I'd turn 'em back til you were mine
But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight
Don't tell me it's all right
Don't tell me it's all right
On a pawn shop radio I heard your favorite song
I could almost hear you whisper in my ear
But I know that you are gone

Don't tell me it's all right
Don't tell me not to cry
You've got to admit
You got a better deal than I
If I could turn the hands of time
I'd turn 'em back til you were mine
But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight
Don't tell me it's all right

In a dim lit restaurant you spoke with a breaking voice
Between the wine and the after dinner smoke
I realized I had no choice

Don't tell me it's all right
Don't tell me not to cry
You've got to admit
You got a better deal than I
If I could turn the hands of time
I'd turn 'em back til you were mine
But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight
Don't tell me it's all right
Don't tell me it's all right
