While I Was Loving You

Kevin Welch

For awhile while we were on the run
We had too misery, too much fun
Back then I guess either one would do
For awhile while I was loving you
The stars were brighter and the river ran deeper
The wind was warmer and the whiskey sweeter
Me, I was learning how
Much a believer can do
For awhile while I was loving you
I loved you tender, I loved you wild
Like a fatherless devil, like a motherless child
Lord when you left me, it felt like you cut me in two
For awhile while I was loving you
When I think of it now it's all like a dream
I lived in a world that was not what it seemed
I was believing that all of my dreams had come true For awhile while I was
loving you
I loved you tender, I loved you wild
Like a fatherless devil, like a motherless child
Lord when you left me, it felt like you cut me in two
For awhile while I was loving you
