I Wish That Wasn't All Lyrics - Revelation - Joe Nichols

"I'm No Stranger To The Rain" came on my radio today 

I hadn't heard that voice in way too long 

I've still got those worn out tapes 

The only three or four he made, what a shame 

I wish that wasn't all 

Hearin' that song took me back to my senior year 

The year I asked Mary Ellen Mayfield to the prom 

She agreed to go as friends, and I remember thinkin', 

"man I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all" 

Ain't it funny how sometimes we can be unsatisfied 

With things we should be thankful for 

Like an old Keith Whitley song or a slow dance at the senior prom 

Some things just leave you wantin' more 

Like the way I felt that June when Dad called me with the news 

Through tears, he told me my grand dad was gone 

He lived til' he was ninety-five, I know that's a good long life 

Still I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all 

Ain't it funny how sometimes we can be unsatisfied 

With things we should be thankful for 

Like the time we get to spend with the ones we love, family and friends 

Some things just leave you wantin' more 

I thank God that I found you 

Until now I never Knew 

That love could be this strong 

I could stay right here and hold you close for ten forevers in a row 

Still I'd wish, I'd wish that wasn't all 

Yeah I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all
