(Alex Zanetis - Jim Reeves)

That kiss you gave me this morning
Was just the calm before the storm
I know in my heart that you're leaving me
For someone else's own.

The storm sometimes comes without warning
So I'm thankful that I was forewarned
It gives me a chance to speak to my heart
And to brace myself for the storm.

The storm is coming I can feel it
And soon we'll be driven apart
You'll rush to the arms of your new love
Deserting a broken heart.

If there was a way I could hold you
With words that are tender and warm
I'd rise and challenge the oncoming waves
And defend our love from the storm.

I'd rise and challenge the oncoming waves
And defend our love from the storm...
