Don'T Take The Girl From My Heart

Verse 1 (0:00 - 0:35)
We were kids on a creek bank, fishin’ in the summer sun,
Her pigtails and my ball cap, swear she was the one.
Carved our names in that old oak, swore we’d never part,
From that day, she held the reins to this ol’ cowboy’s heart. 
Chorus (0:35 - 1:05)
Don’t take the girl, Lord, she’s my whole world,
My first love, my forever, my sweet small-town pearl.
Through the laughter and the tears, she’s been my guiding star,
Don’t take the girl who’s carved her name in my heart. 
Verse 2 (1:05 - 1:40)
Now the hospital room’s quiet, just her hand in mine,
Cancer’s stealin’ moments, but not our love’s design.
She still smiles through the pain, like when we danced in the rain,
Every memory’s a treasure, worth more than any pain. 
Chorus (1:40 - 2:10)
Don’t take the girl, Lord, she’s my whole world,
My first love, my forever, my sweet small-town pearl.
Through the laughter and the tears, she’s been my guiding star,
Don’t take the girl who’s carved her name in my heart. 
Bridge (2:10 - 2:30)
I’d trade my every sunrise, every breath I breathe,
To keep her here beside me, to never have to grieve.
She’s my home, my every song, my reason from the start,
I’m beggin’ you, dear Jesus, don’t take the girl. 
Chorus (2:30 - 3:00)
Don’t take the girl, Lord, she’s my whole world,
My first love, my forever, my sweet small-town pearl.
Through the laughter and the tears, she’s been my guiding star,
Don’t take the girl who’s carved her name in my heart. 
Outro (3:00 - 3:20)
Oh, please… don’t take the girl from my heart.
