Couldn’t Love Have Picked A Better Place To Die – Mickey Gilley

Of all the people in the world, why you and I
And with lovers here and everywhere we don’t care enough to try
Why couldn’t all the hurt we’re feeling now have passed us by
Couldn’t love have picked a better place to die?

And of all the hearts in all the world, why yours and mine
There’s so many places love could die, we must leave the earth to find
But it’s in our hearts and it’s in our bed and it’s even, even in your eyes
Couldn’t love have picked a better place to die?

Somewhere out there there’s lovers who want to be free
Why couldn’t love have died with them instead of here with you and me
But it’s dead and gone all these tears won’t bring it back to life
Couldn’t love have picked a better place to die?…
