Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don’t want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we’re hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E
Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas or his 5th Birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words, and turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can’t spell away this hurt
That’s drippin' down my cheek
Country songs are great to me because they help me with my English ear (I am not a native speaker). But this one is touching my heart right now. Latino crying.
YES IT'S SAD, BUT IT'S REAL. AT THAT TIME WHEN MEN RULED COUNTRY MUSIC AND WOMEN WERE THERE OPENING ACTS MISS TAMMY WYNETTE CHANGED THAT BUY BEING THE FIRST IN COUNTRY TO SELL A MILLION RECORDS . AND HAD A HUGE CAREER AND SHE WAS'NT TRYING TO BE A POP STAR. SHE DID'NT NEED TO BOUNCE AROUND THE STAGE WITH BIG ONE'S OR SOUND LIKE A HILLBILLY THAT YOU COULD'NT UNDER STAND WHAT SHE WAS SINGING. TRULY A STAR.
