(Harlan Howard - Don Cook)

We're gathered in this room today to say our last goodbyes
Friends and kinfolk stayed away it's down to you and I
It's just a simple service and much too late to say
Those tender words unspoken yesterday.

But don't our love look natural lying there
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
It faded in its prime and died before its time
Now don't our love look natural lying there?

I know the day our love was born well I don't know when it died
I think we could have saved it but it seems nobody tried
And love like time can slip away and wanish with the dawn
And you can't bring it back no when it's gone.

And don't our love look natural lying there
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
It faded in its prime and died before its time
Now don't our love look natural lying there?

Yes, now don't our love look natural lying there?...
