Button Off My Shirt

"Button Off My Shirt" is a song written by Billy Livsey and Graham Lyle, and recorded by American country music singer Ronnie Milsap.

It released in July 1988 as the fifth single from the album Heart & Soul.

It peaked at number four on the Hot Country Songs charts.

The song talks of an ended relationship, where the narrator compares his former lover to a missing button from his shirt – "just an everyday distraction" which "some day he will replace".
