At This Moment (Acoustic Cover)

This is a Billy Vera song. It's on my mind today and I figured I'd go ahead and play it.
I've haven't thought of, or played, this song for years and I have a cold. Still, I kinda dig it.
The pounding in the background is my roommate's Hyundai Tiberon being worked on.
I love the simplicity of these lyrics:
What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Trying to tell me
that you have found you another
and you just don't love me no more
What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
'cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think
I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now come on you know me too well
How could I hurt you
when darling I love you
and you know
I'd never, never hurt you-oo-wo-oo...
What do you think
I would give at this moment
If you'd stay
I'd subtract twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
and kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again
I'd fall down on my knees
I'd kiss the ground that you walk on baby
If I could just hold you
If I, could just hold you
If I, if I could just hold-hold you, again

Man that is one of my favorite songs and I never heard anyone do it like that! Awesome gutiar playing and excellent voice! I am going to check out your other videos!

[@commonman80]

What I mean is, The Song is a Man who lost the woman he truly loves, and is talking to her to Try and get her back... He's bearing every part of his Soul to get her back.. You don't express that when playing and singing... In other words, People who have been through it can't feel the words and the music...

I don’t play guitar nearly as well as this gentleman. I have, however had my heart broken a time or two. I took a crack at This song myself, played it as a waltz. It’s on my channel, if you’d care to listen.
