Lyrics
IT?S NOT THE FALL THAT HURTS
(Eric Stone/Kenny Royster)
D G D
Nothing could be sweeter than my Senorita and me dancing under the moonlight
G A
I?d spin her around in her white cotton gown and Id get lost in her dark eyes
Bm A G A
But lately when she looks at me its not the same as it was
G A D G A D
I fell hard, when it all fell apart, the night she fell out of love
CHORUS:
G A D G A D
It?s not the fall that hurts, it?s the sudden stop somehow she stopped missing me
G A D Bm G A
Just yesterday our love was hot now her kisses are cold as can be
G A Bm/A/G A D
It?s not the fall that hurts its the sudden stop now she?s stopped loving me
D G D
That hot night of loving in that tropical oven suddenly felt like a deep freeze
G A
The wind blew colder so I thought I?d hold her to keep her warm from the cool breeze
Bm A G A
Then she smiled and for a while I thought we were back together
G A D G A D
But a woman?s mind when so inclined can change just like the weather
CHORUS:
G A D G A D
It?s not the fall that hurts, it?s the sudden stop somehow she stopped missing me
G A D Bm G A
Just yesterday our love was hot now her kisses are cold as can be
G A Bm/A/G A D
It?s not the fall that hurts its the sudden stop now she?s stopped loving me
REPEAT CHORUS
G A Bm/A/G A D/A/D
It?s not the fall that hurts it?s the sudden stop now she?s stopped loving me
