YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT UNTIL SHE'S GONE

"YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT UNTIL SHE'S GONE"

 

 

(V1)

 

We crossed paths in college.

We were both wolverines – go blue.

Sat next to you in economics,

Yeah - that's where I met you.

 

You were from Topeka, I was from Abeline.

You were studying finance, but football was

my dream.

We got to talking at the local honky tonk.

And the rest was history.

 

We had a good four years.

And time never seemed to stop.

From Work to long distance relationships,

Time slowly drifted us apart.

I called you up a few months later

to see if I could see you again.

I knew there'd be no chance

when the phone was answered

by your man.

 

It got me to thinking as I was drinking.

That the years aren't really all that long.
 And you never realize what

you've got until she's gone.

 

 

CHORUS:

 

Don't fight over the little things

when you know she was right all along.

Hold her close while you've got her.

Tell her that you love her all night long. 

And that together your love will be strong.

And most of all

remember the words to this song.

You never know what you've got

until she's gone.

 

V2

Ten years passed by

every time I thought of her it would make 

me want to drink or cry.

I kept trying to  move on in life,

and didn't let her take my pride.

 But some things just never leave

your heart.

As long as I don't have you

the light will never replace the dark.

 

On a whim I called you up,

and left a voicemail at your work.

Three weeks past, I got a call back.

And I was surprised it was her.

We got to talking, she said boy you were

right.
 

I've come to realize that  I  need you in my life.

I said come on home to my farm in Georgia 

and we will make the wrongs of the past

turn right.

 

BRIDGE:

 

So here I am by standing by this peach tree

about to get down on one knee.

I never thought I'd have you back

its almost like its all one big dream.

I Still can't believe that she came back to me.

 

Its amazing how you can right a wrong.

And while these years may seem so long.

Cherish every moment with her.

And most importantly

always remember the words to this song.

Because you never know what you've got

until she's gone.

 

CHORUS:

 Don't fight over the little things

when you know she was right all along.

Hold her close while you've got her.

Tell her that you love her all night long. 

And that together your love will be strong.

And most of all

remember the words to this song.

You never know what you've got

until she's gone.

 

(Yeah you never know what you've got

until she's gone.
