Skeeter Davis — Son Of A Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit He'd come along When they gathered around and started talking That's when Billy would take me walking Out through the back yard We'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows To my surprise The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes, he was, he was Ooh, yes he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right" He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right" Can I get away again tonight? The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes, he was, he was Ooh, yes he was (Yes, he was) How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each other's knowing Looking to see how much we've grown and The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes, he was, he was Oh, yes he was The only one who could ever reach me He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man The only one who could ever reach me Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
