Emmylou Harris - I'll Be Your San Antonio Rose Lyrics






If they'll play another love song
And if that Miller Highlife light stays dim
And if you'll keep my glass full of whiskey
I'll whisper words I wish I'd said to him

Just ask me to dance all the slow ones
Hold me close and take me 'cross the floor
I'll gently lay my head on your shoulder
And pretend this never happened before

I don't want to hear a sad story
We both already know how it goes
So if you'll be my tall dark stranger
I'll be your San Antone Rose

I wish I could tell you I love you
I wish that he weren't always on my mind
I wishes were fast trains to Texas
I'd ride and I'd ride, how I'd ride

    I just realized that the only other country star who could sell a song like Emmylou was the late George Jones. This series is one of the very best on the Internet. Not many can do live performances as good or better than in a studio.

  12. D.... B....

    Saying she was the best singer ever is wrong. She had a great unique voice. She was not the greatest but she was equal to any of the greatest female voices of the past. They were all the best of the best.

    D.... B....

    she still has that great voice
