About The Song
Everybody needs the time of their partner because the time they entered and agreed to have the commitment, it only means that both should have abundant and true love. Not only the love but as well as the ample time for each other. The best spice for a longer relationship would be “time” and communication. This is exactly what Vince Gill’s definition of his song “I Still Believe In You”. Simply another chance of proving someone’s intention for a happier, extensive, and utmost affection of love.
The storyteller apologizes to his romantic partner for being selfish and not spending enough time with her and vows to make it up to her.
Furthermore, the man is asking for a chance to express and to show his love again. Also, the man doesn’t have time so the woman is his last priority. With this, he realizes that it’s time for him to patch things up and reposition his status for the one he loves. And, he still believes that their love for each other can be strengthened.

Lyrics
Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still I put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry fallin’ like rain
Give me the chance to prove
And I’ll make it up to you
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me
Somewhere along the way, I guess I just lost track
Only thinkin’ of myself never lookin’ back
For all the times I’ve hurt you, I apologize
I’m sorry it took so long to finally realize
Give me the chance to prove
That nothing’s worth losing you
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me
