I'M GETTIN' BETTER
Words and Music by JIM REEVES
I walked by the river where we said goodbye.
I thought of your kisses and didn't even cry;
I'm gettin' better.
I'm gettin' better.
I talked with an old friend, he asked about you.
I managed to tell him with just a tear or two;
I'm gettin' better.
I'm gettin' better.
I know I'll never be the same
I was standing too close to the flame
But it doesn't hurt so much to hear your name;
I think I'll make it
I'm gettin' better.
