Answer 1

"Holding Her and Loving You" by Clay Walker comes to mind right away. It's from his CD called "Live, Laugh, Love". It was also done by Earl Thomas Conley. I have included links to both in the references section.

THe lyrics are as follows:

Its the third hardest thing i'll ever do
Leaving here without you
And the second hardest thing i'll ever to do
Is telling her, about you


She's been good to me, when things were going rough
How can i tell her now, that good ain't good enough

The hardest thing i will ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you

If she'de give me one good reason I'de be gone
But she ain't done, one thing wrong
So don't expect me just to walk out of the door
I still love her but i love you more
She's been good to me, when things weren't going right
She made my days long, before you made my nights

The hardest thing i'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you

Yeah the hardest thing i'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
Girl, the hardest thing i'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
