Singing My Song Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
Here's a song I love to sing
It's about the man that wears my ring
And even tho' he's tempted, he knows
I'll make sure that he gets ev'rything
'Cause when he's cold he knows I'm warm
And I want him in my arms
And when he's sad, oh, I make him glad
And I'm his shelter from the storm
I'm his song when he feels like singin'
And I swing when he feels like swingin'
I don't know what I do that's right
But it makes him come home at night
And when he's home
I make sure he's never alone
And that's why I keep singin' my song
And when he's home
I make sure he's never alone
And that's why I keep singin' my song
