IN THE PRESENCE OF YOU. WITH DOLLY PARTON. (Porter Wagoner). . In the presence of you I wonder. Why I can't say the things that I want to. All the pretty words that I planned to say when I'm with you.
I had not planned on seeing you I was afraid of what I'd do. But pride is strong and here am I I just can't let you say goodbye. Please have no fear you're in no harm as long as you're here in my arms.
Darling it's not really over it just seems to be. Darling I don't really think that we want to be free. A raging storm of anger made us want to end it all.

An acre of diamonds I'd offer to you. A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two. This whole world would be yours to have and to hold. If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
Now if I could only start over and have a new life to begin. Oh I wouldn't live like a rover and drift like a leaf in the wind. Cause I'm dreaming tonight of old sweethearts and believe me I've had quite a few.
I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand. You look lovelier tonight than I remember I'm so glad I got to see you once again. I've enjoyed just sitting down and reminiscing.
