Vernon "Vern" Gosdin (August 5, 1934 – April 28, 2009) was an American country music singer. Known as "The Voice" he had 19 top-10 solo hits on the country music charts from 1977 through 1990. Three of these hits went to number one: "I Can Tell By the Way You Dance (You're Gonna Love Me Tonight)", "Set 'Em Up Joe" and "I'm Still Crazy".
As the sixth child in a family of nine, Vern Gosdin began singing in a church in Woodland, Alabama, where his mother played piano. Vern and two brothers sang gospel on Birmingham radio station WVOK. Vern later moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he ran the D&G Tap. He idolized The Louvin Brothers and The Blue Sky Boys as a young man.
In 1961, he moved to California, where he joined the West Coast Country music movement, first as a member of the Golden State Boys, which became The Hillmen, and included Chris Hillman. Vern then formed The Gosdin Brothers with brother Rex. The duo hit the charts in the late '60s with "Hangin' On" on the Bakersfield International label, then with "Till The End" on Capitol Records. During the same time period the Gosdin Brothers were featured on Hillman's former Byrds mate Gene Clark's first solo album, the 1967 well-regarded Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers, singing backing vocals on all of the tracks behind the lead vocals of Clark and Lead Guitars of Clarence White, Glen Campbell, and Bill Rinehart (later of the Merry-Go-Round).
I remember the first time that I touched you
And it took me where I wanted to be
Now that we both know the end is drawin' near
Where do we take it from here
I don't ever want to say, “you used to love me”
And you just said you felt the same way too
And if we're gonna take the love have and make it reappear
Where do we take it from here
We're standing at a crossroad, we never thought we'd find
The though of being here like this, just never crossed my mind
We took love for granted one too many years
Where do we take it from here
I remember back when always meant for ever
When everything we said came from the heart
But now that we brought it from laughter down to tears
Where do we take it from here
We're standing at a crossroad, we never thought we'd find
The though of being here like this, just never crossed my mind
We took love for granted one too many years
Where do we take it from here
Now that we brought it from laughter down to tears
