Don Williams (born May 27, 1939, Floydada, Texas, United States) is an American country singer, songwriter and a 2010 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame. He grew up in Portland, Texas, and graduated in 1958 from Gregory-Portland High School. After seven years with the folk-pop group Pozo-Seco Singers, he began his solo career in 1971, singing popular ballads and amassing 17 number one country hits.

His straightforward yet smooth bass-baritone voice, soft tones, and imposing build earned him the nickname: "Gentle Giant" of country music.

There's no stronger wind than the one that blows

down a lonesome railroad line

No prettier sight than looking back

on a town you left behind

There is nothin' that's as real

as a love that's in my mind

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while

There's lots of things along the road

I'd surely like to see

I'd like to lean into the wind

and tell myself I'm free

but your softest whisper's louder

than the highways call to me

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while

All the mountains and the rivers

and the valleys can't compare

to your blue lit dancin' eyes

and yellow shining hair

I could never hit the open road

and leave you layin' there

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while

Lay your head back easy, love,

close your cryin' eyes

I'll be layin' here beside you

when the sun comes on the rise

I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails

and the lonesome bluejay cries.

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while[x2]
