Lefty Frizzell — I Just Couldnt See The Forest

[Intro] I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees [Verse ] I was standing in tall timber With many women on the line But somehow in the tangle of all those love affairs I overlooked the only one who cares [Chorus] I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees That’s what’s been wrong with me You never miss the water till the well runs dry My sweet love said goodbye now I wish I could die [Verse 2] I thought that I I was a swinger And had the whole world by the tail But I was wrong because the only thing that’s swinging Is the door that she walked through saying farewell [Chorus] I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees That’s what’s been wrong with me You never miss the water till the well runs dry My sweet love said goodbye now I wish I could die
