"Nelly" lyrics

Oh Nelly
The Nelly I know
Is worth every mountain
Or valley below

You were my best friend
I nearly lost control
When you took to walkin'
And I watched you go

You found you a dead end man
Who don't know your worth
He's standing there holdin' your hand
He don't say a word
I might sound crazy
Tellin' you my mind
He's running through you like cancer
You ain't got much time

Oh Nelly
Nelly I know
He's robbin' your eyes of
Their silver and gold

It killed me to hear you say
That you need him to live
It's bound to be you or him someday
Destined to give
I still think about you
I have all along
I'll pray who you're seein'
Has packed up and gone

Oh Nelly
Nelly I know
You're worth every mountain
Or valley below
Oh Nelly
Nelly I know
He's robbin' your eyes of
Their silver and gold
