Gene Watson - The Note Lyrics
The note was short but Lord, so strong
It simply said I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
My tears fell down like falling rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world has torn apart
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all those plans we've made together
There's no one that I can blame
Oh, but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
Of the one the only one that really loves her

This guy had a great career and a wasnt really recognized for it in my opinion. Just don't hear his songs on the radio or Sirius enough. Now that he has passed we may here some for a few weeks.
This man can sing anything. I have loved his music since I was a teenager and I love him.
The note was short but Lord, so strong
It simply said I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh, but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
My tears fell down like falling rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world has torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all those plans we've made together
There's no one that I can blame
Oh, but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one the only one that really loves her
Of the one the only one that really loves her
Doug Supegnaw covered this song very well also , before he lost his mind
JUST LOOK AT GENES BEAUTIFUL SPARKLING BROWN EYES! WHAT A GORGEOUS MAN HE IS! JUST AWESOME!
Gene is the greatest singer ever God bless you Gene merry Christmas to all 2018 hope next year hold more and better things to come
The note was short but Lord, so strong
It simply said I can't go on
And live a life with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh, but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart of the one
The only one that really loves her
My tears fell down like falling rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms

She never meant to break my heart

Erasing all those plans we've made together
I'm the one have a explain over how
my world became mighty hand that help the peel
that go to world stay broken heart of the one
The only one that really loves her.....
I met Gene Watson in person WOW what an entertainer he is. I have been to several concerts not one half as good as Gene Watson's not George Strait not Tim Mc Graw not Vince Gill not even my favorite Mark Chesnutt. He is awesome and he came out and signed autographs for everyone. He belongs in country music hall of fame!!! Hope to get to see him again
He's such a great singer always good with each song God bless you thanks for all songs
I love this music. Thanks.
GENE...I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY CLONE FOR MY BIRTHDAY?????? HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YOU ON 10/11/2018!
OMG! HE COULD FIX YOUR CAR AND MELT YOUR HEART AT THE SAME TIME! WOW WHAT A MAN!
JUST DON'T WIGGLE THOSE HIPS! IT WOULD BE ALL OVER!
HE IS THE JACK OF ALL KING'S! AND OH! SO SWEET HE IS PERFECT! JUST LOVE YOU!
Wow just wow
Tammy Wynette recorded this song on one of her last projects "Next to You" and while it was good, Gene's version overwhelms hers by hundreds of miles! Nothing against Tammy, who I love, but her voice changed and got thinner because she smoked so much so her later projects reflected that change. Gene's voice hasn't changed a bit! He can knock anything out of the ball park! Let's get this man in the Hall of Fame!
Hindi song old song
THIS MAN CAN SING ANYTHING!
WITH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE! AND BROWN EYES! LOVE THIS MAN!
He was my world
Good song true
This bad heart will stop
This person is a wonderful singer God bless
This man is well into his seventies and still has a good voice. He should be in the HOF
He deserves a gold bust in front of the hall of fame.
lovely song wish he would come down under for a few concerts
Chessnutt*
What makes me sad are those great singers who have never been discovered by the major record producers. If y'all get a chance listen to Benny Barnes on YouTube. Benny has gone to meet Jesus but he was a good old Beaumont😙😃Texas boy who sold automobiles and he owned a nightclub there in Beaumont. I cannot ever remember a fight breaking out at Benny's Club. Everybody kneweach other and made strangers feel welcome. In fact, a lot of people met their better halves at Benny's. Benny doesn't have a lot of music on YouTube but what is there I think you will like. Thanks for reading this and I wish all of you well.😘Oh by the way, Mark Chestnutt is also from Beaumont...and Tracey Byrd is from Vidor just a few miles east of Beaumont. And guess what ...Clay Walker is also from that area and he and his band played for my daughter's 14th birthday at a local skating rink on Hwy 12 before he became famous .Well I'm going to go listen to Benny for a while! Everybody have a great day.
VERN. GENE. MERLE . NOTHING CAN TOUCH THESE GUYS IN COUNTRY

He goes straight to my heart with his voice and the songs that he sings. Thank-you, Gene!

with Gene Watson's music you can hear every word and the beautiful music doesn't drown him out like the "new" music does thank God I have lived in the best years of the real country music singers beginning in the early 50's. Gene watson is my country music hero

WOW...40 year-old memories just hit me like a ton of bricks...the power of music
I am going to see him again in Shewana, Indiana September 3, 2016 Every show is always better than the last AWESOME Entertainer Best Country Music ever
These singers today need to take lessons from this man Today's music is not COUNTRY
He is coming to South Carolina the following week. Excited about that!
Going to see him at the Red Barn Convention Center Winchester Ohio April 30th 2016

Country singers of today should take some lessons so they know what real country is.

Wow !!Beautiful !
Beautiful song !!
Great song love you Gene
Love this Song, Gene
Gene has been my favorite since I first heard his voice in the 70's and remains my favorite to this day. I positively LOVE his songs and never get tired of listening to him sing. I've had the privilege of seeing him in concert 18 times through the years and will continue to do so every chance I get. He is the best voice in country music and loves and appreciates his fans.
Harry I have so many favorite country singers it's unreal. there are just too many good ones for me to just have one .
there is no one better.
Gene sounds as good today as he did ,when I first heard him in the '70s, i fell in love with him then, but I think time has only made him better Like They Say About Wine It gets Better With time, Still love me some Gene Watson.
Lexie Mae Matthews a
I AGREE
me too.
Such a sad song but sung so beautifully by Gene Watson!
I love his music so much he can sing anything ..he is a true country artist
Daryl Singletary redid this song and knocked it out of the ballpark.
Hey Matt, you should listen to Doug Supernaw's version. Not to take away from Mr.Watson's version, will always love his singing but Doug did an awesome job too. On the song - When a man can't get a woman off his mind, listen to Gene then Craig Morgan. Both fantastic singers just different. Ilove them both. Check it out.
@Lupe Dominguez Gracias I will:)
Matt Beeman Conway did it too!! But Gene Watson does best
So did Conway Twitty Mark!!!!!!
More recent songs of gene watson
EVERY ONE OF GENE'S SONGS WERE NUMBER ONES AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE AGREE.I DON'T KNOW WHY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT A MARVELOUS, SINCERE ,TRUE COUNTRY AND FINE GENTLEMAN HE IS. I WISH I COULD ME HIM IN PERSON SOME DAY. HIS WIFE MUST SURE BE PROUD OF HIM, I KNOW I AM.THE BEST COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER OF ALL TIME......THE KING!!!!!!!
Amen Janet
Janet54ful, Gene Watson has always been one of my favorites. My Mount Rushmore of traditional singers is Gene, Conway, Merle Haggard, and Charley Pride. That being said, if you look at his sales, he only had 1 huge hit. I think it was due more to the lack of marketing than lack of talent. He is one of the best vocalist ever. I live in Arizona which is just two states away from Gene yet he never comes to Arizona. We have a lot of casinos here. Charley Pride will be here in February. Gene needs to expand his route and come further west.
JANET54ful great singer for sure could listen to him all day
He has been married for yrs and has 2 kids. Terri is my facebook friend. I got a cd from her today. I also sing and plan to send a tape to Gene.
I thought he was remarried to someone else in the last few years.
watson what can i say i cant find proper words he is another master singer to say the least and so under rated he should be rated higher than a lot of the ones that are top of the list somewhere i love his great gift sing on brother im a fan to countless artist but gene watson there is none better i should know im a better
perfect
thanks ever so much for this song and video. it is a treasure to me, met Gene in late 60's, don't get much on his early carreer, but enjoy every song he sings no matter who brought it out, does anyone know how long he lived in Palestine?
I'm still thanking you for this post! Norita
thanks for the bio. I grew up in Tyler just about 60 miles up the road from his home town. Wonder if he sang in Palestine growing up?
