Patsy Cline - Pick Me Up On Your Way Down lyrics

rate me

Written by M. Axton, B. Levey and G. Reeves

(As recorded by Patsy Cline November 8, 1956)

Once my love was good enough

True happiness we knew

Then fame and fortune came your way

And made a change in you

You'll find your ladder of success

Is not on solid ground

And when it starts to tumble

Pick me up on your way down

CHORUS:

Pick me up when dreams are shattered

When false friends cannot be found

For you know I'll still be waiting

Pick me up on your way down

You've hit the top, but it won't last

There's just one way to go

The world you've chosen is not real

These things you'll come to know

When folks say they don't know you

And you've lost your final round

When you find that you are lonely

Pick me up on your way down

REPEAT CHORUS
