This week’s Two for Tuesday songs are both classic country songs.
Your Time’s Comin’ by Faron Young
and
How Could I Love Her So Much by Johnny Rodriguez
Your Time’s Comin’ was written by Kris Kristofferson and Shel Silverstein. Faron Young was the first to record and release the song in 1969.
How Could I Love Her So Much was written by Hugh Moffatt. Johnny Rodriguez released it as a single in 1983.
The songs share the theme of a man who has fallen in love with a woman who he knew wasn’t faithful when they met, and who he knows will eventually be unfaithful to him and leave him for someone else. It’s just a matter of time.
I can stretch my lyrics imagination and blend these two songs into one song about the same man and the same unfaithful woman.
Until we meet again,
Shel Silverstein is a tremendous songwriter, wasn’t he? Couple of good ones here…
I’m discovering his music-writing influence more and more as I look for songs to write about. 😉
