Wynette, Tammy - Next To You Lyrics






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

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

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

    These could have been my mom's very words. A few years after my dad passed away, my mom remarried. Sadly, they were only married a few years when he too passed away. That was 20 years ago. And now my mom is gone as well. She never got over my dad, but I'm glad she had a few years with another good man. This song bring back lots of memories!

    @FrankATracy I am the co-writer of Next To You. I'm happy to see you picked up on the real meaning of this song even though it wasn't reflected in the video. When we were writing this song it was from the point of view of a widow (or widower) telling their lost love of the new person in their life. I must admit I wish the video had told the story we had written! Thanks for posting. I'm glad this song touched you.

    +scriptvtr Yes the song truly touched me very deeply! Beautifully written and beautifully sung by Tammy. I too wish that the video had told the story better. But I'm thankful nonetheless. Thanks again!

    +FrankATracy Thanks for your reply. It's heartening to know there are people out there that respond to the message. The song wasn't a big hit but I'm glad to see it's reaching more people through youtube and vevo.

    +scriptvtr Alan or Chris, I've been listening to country music since 1968, but since 1982 I've been listening more to Christian music. And that was especially true in 1989, the same year I met my future wife and only the second year of me going to church. I don't remember this song on the radio but indeed found it here on YouTube. It's funny, but Loretta Lynn has always reminded me of my mom, and Tammy Wynette reminds me of my mother-in-law. Fortunately my mother-in-law is still with us.

    +FrankATracy BTW, this is Chris. :)
