The Hardest Thing
She lays me 'cross the bed, but and that ain't the hardest thing
It's to give your love away, to that girl with those tragic eyes
We got bills we need to pay, and the pawnshop is calling everyday
Your mothers diamond ring, you used to wear 'round your neck on an old piece of string
But that ain't the hardest thing
To give your love away
No, that ain't the hardest thing
It's watching as her memory fades, slowly away
Drove to town the other day, on my way to visit my girl
I stood in the moonlight, in that graveyard on chestnut hill
Where I lay those flowers down and a kiss that I place upon her stone
I know I'll cry in the mirror, on those long and winding roads home
But that ain't the hardest thing
To give your love away
No, that ain't the hardest thing
It's watching as her memory fades, slowly away
