Here’s a little country music trivia for those of you that think you know your country music.

Some country music songs have beautiful passages in them that often give you goose bumps the first time or two you hear them. Here are a few that stirred me a little. See if you can name the song the passages came from and the artist or artists that sang them?

 

 

Song 1

 

“I always thought you were the best,
I guess I always will.
I always felt that we were blessed,.
And I feel that way, still.

 

Sometimes we took the hard road,
But we always saw it through.
If I had only one friend left,
I’d want it to be you.”

 

.
Song 2

 

“It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I’ve got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth
I would be nothin’ without you

 

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
And everything I’d like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings”

 

 

Song 3

 

“When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

 

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose”

 

.
Song 4

 

“To everything there is a season,
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born, a time to die.
A time to plant, a time to reap.
A time to kill, a time to heal.
A time to laugh, a time to weep.

 

To everything there is a season,
And a time to every purpose under heaven.
A time to gain, a time to lose.
A time to rend, a time to sow.
A time for love, a time for hate.
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late.”

 

.
Song 5

 

“I remember Daddy’s hands folded silently in prayer,
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare,
You could read quite a story in the callouses and lines,
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.

 

 

I remember Daddy’s hands how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back for something done right.
There are things that I’ve forgotten that I loved about the man
But I’ll always remember the love in Daddy’s hands.”

Well, how did you do? Here’s the answers.

.

Song 1. “One Friend” by Dan Seals

Song 2. “Wind Beneath My Wings” by Gary Morris

Song 3. “The Rose” by Conway Twitty or Bette Midler

Song 4. “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by The Byrds

Song 5. “Daddy’s Hands” by Holly Dunn

.

OK, The Byrds may not have been country when the song first came out, but they are now! I’ve heard this song four or five times on K 99.5.FM Big Country in the last few months.

.

Pull these songs up on your device and listen to them. They’re great.
