How Close You Came To Being Gone Lyrics

When I think how close you came to being gone



A friend of mine is going through

The same thing I did with you

She’s lost her man and must go on alone

And she don’t know if he’ll come back again

And I tremble ‘cause I know how she feels

When I think how close you came to being gone



And I tell her that I turn my face to Jesus

And said, let thou will be done

But if you know any way of keeping him

Lord, please show me one

It scares me half to death to think

Of living life alone

When I think how close you came to being gone



The reasons were just about the same

Day after day she nagged and complained

And she knows that she chased him away from home

And now she begs him just like I begged you

And she cries and asks me what can she do

And I think how close you came to being gone



And I tell her that I turn my face to Jesus

And said, let thou will be done

But if you know any way of keeping him

Lord, please show me one

It scares me half to death to think

Of living life alone

When I think how close you came to being gone



When I think how close you came to being gone
