I Can't Lose Her Now
by Dwight Newman

She woke up fumblin'
looking for
an extra cover
she said her feet were cold
I know I should get up
the pilot light's out again
but I lay here listening
to this December wind
and all she knows is
she sure could use me now

When I was younger
I used to dream
I used to wonder
tryin' to picture this
I never imagined
this kind of achin' cold
I don't know how it happened
but we're finally getting old
and all I know is
I can't lose her now

I hear her whisperin' in her sleep
none of it makin' any sense
or is it my imagination
maybe she almost fell asleep
maybe she never said a word
who says I need an explanation

interlude

The early morning city sounds
through our window
bring me back again
the frost in the air
was never quite like this
and closing my eyes
as it carries me off in bliss
all I know is
I won't lose her now
all I know is
I won't lose her now

This is a song written by my brother Dwight. I'm
performing it here. It's a song that has been on
my album "The Sandhill Waltz" - the version
here is the latest edition of it though it's just a
demo. For future editions of "The Sandhill
Waltz" I plan to re-record this version.
