Porter Wagoner - Slip Away Today lyrics

You jark back your hand away from mine and I move my lips away from yours Then quietly we sit tryin' to forget Those deep running thoughts that run wild across our minds You quickly stop the words you start to say and we realize just how close we are And we both know if we let ourselves go we'll do something we'll be sorry for Slip away today means sorrow tomorrow It's love we know but we can't keep but yet we like to borrow Trying to hold back emotions and desires It's hard to keep from doing something we'll be sorry for [ ac.guitar ] My love hungry heart begs for more of what your lips hold in store But our conscience just won't let us at least tonight it kept us From jumpin' off the deep end and going too far But one of these night you and I will be ruled by the pa**ion of our hearts And we both know if we let ourselves go and do something that we'll be sorry for Slip away today means... It's hard to keep from doing something we'll be sorry for
