Charley Pride – ( I’m So ) Afraid of Losing You Again Lyrics
Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it cost to love you and I’m so afraid of losing you again
Being close to you revives the sorrow that wakes me up and tells me I can’t win
I’d love to wake up in your arms tomorrow but I’m so afraid of losing you again
If heaven were to hear my heart’s confession wanting you would be my greatest sin
But I’m glad that you’re no longer my possession
Cause I’m so afraid of losing you again
Being close to you…
But I’m so afraid of losing you again
