Gene Watson - Desperation Lyrics

Love this guy hubby got me a big boxset for christmas will listen to him while cooking christmas dinner merry christmas to you all

beautiful song; have never heard it before; wish I can find what cd it is on

Had never heard this one, love it, all his songs are the best ever

It is so wonderful to hear a beautiful song you have never heard before. Thanks!

Love Gene Watson.

My my thought i had heard them all but i haven't heard this one before i love it. Way to go Gene.

whoever wrote this was a great song writer

he is right. We all have faced nights like that.

he comes up with good songs and makes them Great.

Gene Watson you are the best singer and God bless you better with age. Merry Christmas to all 2018 have the best of holidays

Gene you are a very wonderful singer love all your songs old and new

On this lonely bed I'm lying deep inside my mind just crying
Far away to break this hold she has on me
I wish that she would call but the phone upon the wall
Seems to turn the time into eternity

She keeps walking through my brain, lord
and I can't stand the strain
That face in light without her brings to mind
Hurtin' heavy hanging on realizin' that she's gone
It is only desperation that I find

Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul
Loving her was all I had and now I lost control
Help me make it to tomorrow, lord
send me down your soothing word
And calm this desperation in my soul
-----------
Lord the world is filled with others
who were broken hearted lovers
And I know they must have faced the night like this
Empty heart and all alone hurtin' clear down to the bone
Reeving life into a sweet remembered kiss

Life is just an endless motion yet I can't dispell the notion
That without her loving I can't make it through
Now dreaming daydreams of the past
knowing I have seen the last
Of her love and there's nothing I can do

Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul
Loving her was all I had and now I lost control
Help me make it to tomorrow, lord
send me down your soothing word
And calm this desperation in my soul
Help me calm this desperation in my soul.....

Love Gene I saw him about seven years ago in Leeds England he was superb.

I am taking all my meds but one they said it was ok

Love this song and all by the great Gene Watson!

HE IS SPECIAL ISN'T HE?

Gene Watson,Should Have Been Inducted To The Music Hall Of Fame Years Ago! He Is A Legend! SHAME ON YOU (CMA)😡

One of the best singers alive. love this song, first time i have heard it. pure country music like real country should be unlike today's so called country.

Love this song thanks for sharing

Beautiful touching song.Thank you for sharing.

The very best,smoothest singer of all time .

Love that song, but it is hard to listen to.  Husband passed away and he is missed so much. He has been gone almost 11 years, but still think about him.

Beautiful.  I love all his music.  Keep it up Gene Watson!!!!!

Pure and classic Gene. He has always bee and always will be the absolute BEST!

This is the best gene

This is the first time I've heard this song, anywhere. We used to could hear this type of good country on the radio, but I guess those times are gone forever. I'm glad we still have You tube, and the people that take the time to find the good music, and then post it. Thanks a lot

Love this song which I came across by accident. Have since gotten the CD which has some of the greatest songs on..love them all and love all of Gene's music. CMHF..it's his time to make it into Hall of Fame! Thanks for posting the song!

tguy, You are the greatest!! Thank you for all the good music....What would we do without you?? Bring it on, Sweet music man. :)...

very special song to me, after we lost my mom this is the only song that can tear my dad up, he loves it so much and thinks of her. contacted Gene's fan club about where to locate this song on cd for my dads b-day and told them the story about my parents, they told me they'd get back to me. little do i know a couple days later Gene calls me himself and said he was very touched by my story and sent me a free cd and autographed pic made out to my dad in my moms memory. :)
