George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music artist. George Strait has marked a monumental career achievement by having more number one hit singles than any living artist, a total of 52, second only to the late Conway Twitty. Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early '80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn't refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson.

Desperately Lyrics

George Strait

Every night it’s the same
I hear you callin’ my name
You’re lyin’ next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize it’s just a dream, but

Chorus:
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everything’s ok, but

Chorus

And now I
Know there’s no reason to smile
It’s gonna take me awhile
‘Cause I still love you desperately

Chorus

And now I
Watch the sun goin’ down
There ain’t nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin’ myself
I don’t need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but

Chorus

And now I

Chorus

And now
Every night it’s the same
I hear you callin’ my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately
