Bill Anderson – Still

Bill Anderson – Still, is a 1963 single by Bill Anderson. “Still” was Anderson’s second number one on the country chart, staying at the top spot for seven non-consecutive weeks. The song crossed over to the pop chart, peaking at number eight. Anderson performed this song on the finale of the 1977-1978 ABC game show The Better Sex which he co-hosted with Sarah Purcell.

This song is mostly spoken in the two verses, rather than sung, except for the repeated refrains, that are done with a female chorus. The narrator misses his girl, since she went away, and hopes to have her back again someday soon, saying that he is still here.

Bill Anderson – Still Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
(Still)
Though you broke my heart
(Still)
Though we’re far apart
(I love you still)

[Chorus 2]
(Still)
After all this time
(Still)
You’re still on my mind
(I love you still)

[Verse 1]
I’ve lost count of the hours and I’ve lost track of the days
In fact, I’ve lost just about everything since you went away
(I love you still)
Everything that is except the memories you left me
And that’s one things that no one can mar
I don’t know who you’re with, I don’t even know where you’ve gone
My only hope is that some day you might hear this song
And you’ll know, I wrote it especially for you
(I love you still)
And I love you wherever you are
[Chorus 2]

[Verse 2]
This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire
For every day it burns hotter and every day it burns higher
(I love you still)
And I haven’t been able to put out one little flicker
Not even with all of these tears
My friends all think, I’m crazy and maybe I am
But I’ll carry this torch just as long as I can
For someday you might just decide to come home
(I love you still)
And I want you to know, I’m still here

[Chorus 1]
