Terri says…
I hesitated to re-cut an old song that I had previously recorded unless I could do it in a completely different way. This song was written several years ago, long before my Mother was diagnosed with Cancer. Her fight and seeing her in so much pain and suffering in the past 3 years is what inspired me to cut this song again. This version is a lot more intimate, less bombastic, and to me, speaks a little more to what the lyric is saying. Vince Gill’s voice just brings it to life, and adds to the emotion. It is a lyric that I am singing, and hearing in a whole different light than I did the first time I cut it, which was the whole reason for re visiting the song. It means so much more to me now.
Lyrics
T Clark/G Burr
He says it’s none of my damn business, how much he drinks
And he doesn’t have a problem, no mater what the whole town thinks
At his baby’s birthday party, there was whiskey on his breath
Everybody wants to save him, but he’s not ready yet
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that’s in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it’s the deepest wound there is
When you can’t help the one you love
Her sister reads the bible, her father sits an’ snores
They’re with her every minute, ’cause they may not have many more
She was dancin’ in New Orleans, only seven weeks ago
Life may go on without her, but not the life we know
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that’s in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it’s the deepest wound there is
When you can’t help the one you love
When someone’s slippin’ away
Right before your eyes
How useless we are
Is a painful surprise
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that’s in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it’s the deepest wound there is
When you can’t help the one you love
When you can’t help the one you love
