Jim Reeves

 I walked by the river
 Where we said good-bye,
 Thought of your kisses,
 And didn't even cry --
 I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better.

 I talked with an old friend,
 he asked about you.
 I managed to tell him
 With just a tear or two.
 I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better.

 I know I'll never be the same --
 I was standin' too close to the flame.
 But it doesn't hurt so much
 To hear your name.
 I think I'll make it -- I'm gettin' better
