Answer
Hello April,

That song is called "Holding Her And Loving You". There are two versions that I know of; the original by Earl Thomas Conley in 1983, and a 1999 version by Clay Walker.


It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do
Leavin' here without you
And the second hardest thing I'll ever do
Is tellin' her about you

She's been good to me
When things were goin' rough
How can I tell her now
Good ain't good enough

Oh, the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is holding her, and loving you

If she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone
She ain't done, one thing wrong
So don't expet me to just walk out of the door
I still love her, but I love you more

She's been good to me
When things weren't goin' right
She made my days
Long before you made my nights

So, the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is holding her, and loving you

Yeah, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holing her, and loving you

Girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her, and loving you


Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.
