They say she's cheating.
He suspects they might be right.
He hopes that they're wrong.
"Tell Me That It Isn't True," from the 1969 album "Nashville Skyline," is a sad song, but my goodness, does it sparkle like a diamond. It's a perfect pop song, recorded under the country music auspices of a crack team of musicians in the USA's country music capital. It's charming and affecting and perfect. Try to find Robert Forster's version, which appears on his album "I Had a New York Girlfriend." It's nearly as good.
- Everybody in town says you're planning to leave me. Please tell me that it isn't true.
- They say you're hanging out with a tall, dark and handsome man.
- To know that he's holding you "hurts me all over, it doesn't seem right."
- I don't want to believe any of this.
