JOE NICHOLS LYRICS - I Wish That Wasn't All

"I Wish That Wasn't All"



"I'm Not Stranger To The Rain" came on my radio today

I hadn't heard that voice in way too long

I've still got those worn out tapes

The only three or four he made, what a shame

I wish that wasn't all



Hearin' that song took me back to my senior year

The year I asked Mary Ellen Mayfield to the prom

She agreed to go as friends, and I remember thinkin',

"man i wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all"



Ain't it funny how sometimes we can be unsatisfied

With things we should be thankful for

Like an old Keith Whitley song or a slow dance at the senior prom

Some things just leave you wantin' more



Like the way I felt that June when Dad called me withthe news

Through the tears, he told me my grand dad was gone

He lived til' he was ninety-five, I know that's a goodlong life

Still I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all



Ain't it funny how sometimes we can be unsatisfied

With things we should be thankful for

Like the time we get to spend with the ones we love, family and friends

Some things just leave you wantin' more



I thank God that i found you

Until now i never knew

That love could be this strong

I could stay right here and hold you close for ten forevers in a row

Still i'd wish, i'd wish that wasn't all

Yeah I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all
