I Had A Beautiful Time Lyrics - The Essential Merle Haggard: The Epic Years - Merle Haggard

We met downtown in the barroom 

Both of us needing a friend 

And you brought me home to your doorstep 

And it was there you invited me in 

We spent the wee hours dancing 

To your favorite home stereo sounds 

We talked about what we been needin' 

Discussin' our ups and our downs 

And I've had a beautiful time 

Holding your heart next to mine 

I poured out my feelings while you poured the wine 

And I've had a beautiful time 

If I seem a wee bit uneasy 

You really sized me up right 

There's somebody home still up waiting 

She probably been waiting up all night 

And I can't say I found any answers 

But you listen while I ride alone 

And you been a beautiful lady 

And you kept me from being alone 

And I've had a beautiful time 

Holding your body next to mine 

You poured out the feelings and then I poured the wine 

And I've had a beautiful time 

I've had a beautiful time 

Holding your heart next to mine 

We poured out the feelings and then we poured the wine 

And I've had a beautiful time 

You poured out your feelings while we poured the wine 

And I've had a beautiful time
