The Hardest Part Of All (recorded 1968 - released 1972) (with Tammy Wynette)

The fear of losing you somehow yet in my mind, still lingers
Tomorrow will not seem so close to gettin' us today
I'm holding on but I can feel you darlin' slippin' through my fingers
And it hurts to see your love for me just slowly slip away.
And the party going on as long as I can seem to find the reason
I'd crawl to you if it would do one bit of good at all
I just sit and watch the screen wall that I built around you fall
Without a reason that's the hardest part of all.

If there was something I had done then I could say I'm sorry
And try to make things up to you somehow I'd find a way
But the only thing I'm guilty of is lovin' you so long now
I can't stand to see your love for me just slowly slip away.
And the party going on as long as I can't seem to find the reason
I'd crawl to you if it would do one bit of good at all
I just sit and watch the green wall that I built around you fall
Without a reason that's the hardest part of all.
Without a reason that's the hardest part of all...
