Kenny Rogers - 'Till I Can Make It On My Own Lyrics






I'll need time to get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you, from time to time
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own

I'll get by, but no matter how I try
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do,
'Til I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own.

    This is a tear jerker for sure,Dottie my best friend in this old world recently told me that l look like Dottie West.lm sorry but l never saw that,l just was watching a PBS country special and really looked at you and thought no l don’t look like Her.Well l just looked you up l had remember you sang with Kenny.Well honey l figured it out,Our hair over the years is exactly alike,and lve been an accomplished hairstylist for over 40 yrs and I’m a Redhead and Love it and recently grew my long hair back.So Darlin here’s to You🌹

    I don't listen to a lot of country, but I still enjoy listening to these two sing together. I like every song they sang. RIP Dottie.

    John you know the night before he was killed, he came to my house, asking me if I could let him cook some food and I said yes ,he cook the food and then asked me,if I could put up the rest for him until the next day, as he was going to check his woman to see if ,he could make it up back with her,but he never made it back for the food, because he was killed on his way coming back from her home, I guessed he never made it up back with her, cause it about four in morning when he was killed, he would have stayed if they had made up .this was the last song he asked me to play, like over and over and over again, till I had to tell him to go now .I am a friend he would tell any and every thing to, and it would stay seal.If you know what I mean.I'm use to Kenny Rogers more though, don't know much the Lady.

    It is a shame on the Country music hall of fame that they waited so long to induct this legend into the hall of fame.

    D.... C....

    Yes it took a long time for Dottie to be recognised but they finally allowed her in
    so glad to know that she is now in her rightful
    place .God bless David and thanks for all your
