Charley Pride Lyrics
"You Were All the Good in Me"

(S.A. Worth)

Before there ever came the time that I could realize
That you've meant all the world to me
You turned and I was gone to find the good life I've been missin'
But you were all the good there was in me.

I went from bad to worse and back to find the good time
But it took the time like this to make me see
I searched high and low to just to find my reason
But you were all the good there ever was in me.

--- Instrumental ---

It's sad to think that much too late I've come to understand
That all the world was laying at my feet
I kicked aside the love that means much more than life just now
And you were all the good there was in me.

I went from bad to worse and back to find the good time
But it took the time like this to make me see
I searched high and low to just to find my reason
But you were all the good there ever was in me.

Yes, you were all the good there ever was in me...
