Biography:
Ricky Van Shelton was one of country music's biggest male stars during the late '80s and early '90s, prior to the emergence of crossover sensations like Garth Brooks. Shelton's smooth baritone croon made him especially popular as a country-pop ballad stylist, but elsewhere he incorporated elements of rock, gospel, and classic honky tonk. Shelton was born in Danville, VA, in 1952 and grew up in the small town of Grit. He learned to sing at church and discovered country music as a teenager, performing at local gatherings whenever he could.

Last night after dinner as I read the evening paper,
D G Em A
I looked up to see a look of sadness in her eyes.
Bm A/Db D D/F# G G/F#
I asked her what was wrong, she sighed and said, 'It's nothin',
Em A
But something in that nothin' made me realize:
[Chorus]
D D/F#
It wouldn't kill me,
G A
To tell her that I love her.
D D/F#
Wouldn't kill me,
G A
To make her feel alive.
Bm D/F#
I could take more time to show her
D D/F# G
How she makes my life so right.
D Em
It wouldn't kill me,
G A D D D/F# G Asus A
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.
[Verse]
D A G
I don't know what gets in me not to take these precious moments,
D G Em A
Share them with the only one who makes it all worthwhile.
Bm A/Db D D/F# G G/F#
I get so caught up in little things when the only thing that matters,
Em A
Is the way she leaves me breathless from the beauty of her smile.
[Chorus]
D D/F#
It wouldn't kill me,
G A
To tell her that I love her.
D D/F#
Wouldn't kill me,

I could take more time to show her
D D/F# G
How she makes my life so right.
D Em
It wouldn't kill me,
G A D
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.
