In my opinion the saddest/greatest, "I still love you but you don't me" song ever written/sung was Patsy Cline's doing the Harlan Howard classic "I Fall To Pieces."
"I Fall To Pieces" I fall to pieces each time I see you again I fall to pieces how can i be just your friend? You want me to act like we've never kissed You want me to forget/ Pretend we've never met And I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet You walk by and I fall to pieces Each time someone speaks you name I fall to pieces Time only adds to the flame You tell me to find someone else to love Someone who'll love me too The way you used to do But each time I go out with someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces You walk by and I fall to pieces (Harlan Howard) |
Sadly Patsy Cline along with Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas and Randy Hughes all lost their lives in plane crash on March 5th, 1963. They were coming back from a show they had all worked in Kansas City.
I saw Cline perform a number of times. In my opinion these fifty-three years later she still remains unmatched.
