Jim Reeves Don't Let Me Cross Over lyrics

I'm temped my darling,to steal you away

So help me darling, stay out of my way

You know that I love you, but I'm not the cheatin' kind

I'm facing a heartache and loves cheating line

Don't let me cross over loves cheating line

You belong to another and could never be mine

I know one step closer, would be heaven divine

Don't let me cross over, loves cheatin' line

I tried to forget, but what else can I do

When your eyes keep saying, that you love me to

I know if I lose you, not a dream will I have left

I don't want to cheat, dear, but I can't help myself

Don't let me cross over loves cheating line

You belong to another and could never be mine

I know one step closer,would be heaven divine

Don't let me cross over, loves cheatin' line
