YOU’LL AWAYS BE MY BABY - SARA EVANS
Sweet Sara might have gotten off to a rocky start on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars,” but when it comes to delivering great country music, she makes it look effortless. She penned this gorgeous ballad — a heartfelt look at unconditional love — with Tony Martin and Tom Shapiro; the verses run the gamut from an errant child waiting for dad to come home to serving up discipline to a young woman giving in to temptation. In each instance, frailty is met with forgiveness, and in the final verse, Evans illustrates what she wants to show as a parent. It’s a potent lyric and a beautiful, poignant performance from Evans. No matter how she does on the dance floor, Evans makes the country music community proud every time she opens her mouth to sing. Billboard
