I've Got A Yearning Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I've got a yearning to hold you tight at burning desire I live with day and night 

Everything I lose keeps on hanging on 

This feeling isn't leaving and by now it should be gone 

I keep on thinking those thoughts that keep making me want you all the time 

I should be trying to find me a way I can drive you from my mind 

I know that you wanted to give and I know that you gave all you could 

Wish I could accept what is over and done with for good 

But I've got a yearning to hold you tight... 

I've got a yearning to hold you tight... 

I've got a yearning to hold you tight...
