The Circle Lyrics

( Lonnie C. Ratliff )

Standing backstage at the Opry looking out across the crowd
I close my eyes in silent prayer and wonder if he sees me now
After all these years of dreaming tonight I feel it's coming true
It won't be long until I'm standing where ol Hank sang "Lovesick Blues"

(Chorus)
Til I'm standing in that circle where ol Hank sang "Lovesick Blues"
I'll know my journey isn't over, I'll know my journey isn't through
Mother church of country music, this country girl has paid her dues
I'm standing just outside the circle where ol Hank sang "Lovesick Blues"

To all of those who've come before me, I lift my eyes and take this vow
Pass the torch I'm Ryman ready and I'll make ol Roy proud
I come to honor your traditions not to take one thing from you
I'm standing just outside the circle where ol Hank sang "Lovesick Blues"

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)
