Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 – April 6, 1998) was an American country singer and songwriter. She was known as the "First Lady of Country Music" and one of her best-known songs was "Stand by Your Man," which was one of the biggest selling hit singles by a woman in the history of the music genre. Tammy Wynette was born Virginia Wynette Pugh near Tremont, Mississippi, the only child of William Hollis Pugh (died February 13, 1943) and Mildred Faye Russell (1922–1991). She was always called Wynette (pronounced Win-net), or Nettie, instead of Virginia. Her father was a farmer and local musician.

Next To You Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
Next to you
Was the only place I thought I'd ever be
Next to you
I saw all that ever mattered, next to me.
Now, you're gone
My life goes on, I found somebody new
You know he makes me happy
He's the first I ever wanted, next to you.
Chorus:
Next to you
He's the only one who'll ever know me well
Next to you
He's the only love this heart has ever felt
And I'm so close to heaven
When he's holdin' me like only you can do
I know he'll always be the only one for me
Next to you.
Without you
I swore the hurt inside would never show
And how he knew
And what he saw in me, I'll never know
Oh, he is here
And in the years to come we'll see it through
No, he'll never take your place
But there's a space for him in my heart
Next to you.
Chorus:
Next to you
He's the only one who'll ever know me well
Next to you
He's the only love this heart has ever felt
And I'm so close to heaven
When he's holdin' me like only you can do
I know he'll always be the only one for me
Next to you.
Next to you...
