In "There's No Getting Over You," Randy Travis mourns a love that refused convention, finding joy in fresh snow on spring blossoms and each ordinary day made new. That loss leaves every night a shadow dance where nothing feels right, yet he cannot regret the memory of meeting them. The image of petals drifting back across a pool captures how the beloved keeps returning unbidden, their fragrance and imagined presence filling the room. Love this deep becomes a haunting he accepts rather than escapes.
There’s No Getting Over You Lyrics by Randy Travis
You never whisper words that other lovers say
Bouquets and valentines to you were just clichés
Fresh snow on blossoms in the spring
The unexpected joys life brings
Delighted you, each day was new
There’s no getting over you
Your touch, your feel, your taste will never set me free
The language only lovers know keep haunting me
To live without your love each day’s
A shadow dance, a pointless play
Wanting in the night, all’s wrong and nothing’s right
There’s no getting over you
I cry, but I can’t regret you in spite of the pain
Replaying the day I met you, it’s always the same
The memories remain
Like petals on a pool, you’re drifting back to me
Your fragrance fills the room the way it used to be
I sometimes call your name out loud
I sense you’re there then turn around
Imagining it’s true, you’re in my point of view
I’m never getting over you
