In those days you had one
star after another.
Ernest Tubb had his peak day.
Roy Acuff had his earlier peak day.
Jimmy Dinkins had a peak time.
Lefty Frizzell and Red Foley
and Carl Smith and Farron Young
and right on through.
And in those days
nobody was really considered
super over the other.
Once you made it
and you had your number one hit
or a few top tens or whatever,
you were just sort of accepted
into the fold
that you're now a country music star.
When Hank's time came,
then that's what he felt he was,
and that's what all of his counterparts
and friends felt.
He's another country music star,
he is here.
But Hank, nor us, nor any of them,
realized that he had done anything
that they hadn't.
But of course, 10 years later,
we suspected he had.
30 years later, we know he did. it.
There was another by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still
in love with you
A picture from the past
came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm
and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with
you
It's hard to know another's
lips will kiss you
And hold you the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
