Please Believe Me

I've given all that I can give
This is the only way to live for you alone
Oh, how I pray for you, my own
Please believe me

You know you hold me in your hand
My life, my love, and all my joy at your command
You speak and I can understand
Please believe me

I don't claim to be no fortune-telling man
To look at your hand and tell the future
But I know as sure as you were born to die
Love won't pass you by, no sir
I know as sure as grass is green
Y'all never know all that it means to be alone
Y'all never sing a blue refrain
Please believe me

I know as sure as grass is green
Y'all never know all that it means to be alone
Y'all never sing a blue refrain
Please believe me

Y'all never sing a blue refrain
Please believe me
