Country style

If you read Normblog you will know that Norm is pretty partial to country and western music. This isn't a taste that I share by and large, although Johnny Cash I often like, and Dolly Parton is a great songwriter.  Just recently however, I got a slight inkling of what  Norm means when I heard a song by Patsy Cline called 'I go to pieces'. She isn't a great voice, but this performance has much of the same rawness of Billie Holiday not something I expected.

I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by, and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces

(I fall to pieces)
Each time someone speaks your name
(I fall to pieces)
Time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
