(Bill Anderson)

I can't settle down and marry you we both know that
But I dedicate my life to you each minute that I live
And if you'll only try and take me like I am
I'll give you what there is of me to give.

I can't live with you but I'll live for you
Every minute, every hour, every day
I can't live with you but I'll live for you
And I'll try to make you happy in my own way.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll ache for you each morning when the sun comes up
I'll dream of you at midnight when I lay me down to sleep
I'll be true to you with every single breath I take
All that's mine but me is yours to keep.

I can't live with you but I'll live for you
Every minute, every hour, every day
I can't live with you but I'll live for you
And I'll try to make you happy in my own way...
