I'll Look Over You

I'll Look Over You - Merle Haggard

I'll look over things you do

Because I love you so

And I'll be standing on the sidelines

While you play

It's your life to live the way

You want to live

And I'll look over you

If you'll just let me stay

It's no fault of yours

If I can't give the thrill you need

And I know someday

You'll find someone who can

Though it hurts to see you stare

At every guy you see

But I'll look over you

And try to understand

I'll look over things you do

Because I love you so

And I'll be standing on the sidelines

While you play

It's your life to live the way

You want to live

And I'll look over you

If you'll just let me stay
