Some folks said I was getting' well But through the tears I couldn't tell I could not see past yesterday Cause your memory stood there in my way
A lonely mind plays funny tricks Works on things that can't be fixed It's bound to dwell on what you miss Like a midnight touch or a morning kiss
Chorus
It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it But I had to draw the line, a million tears is a man's limit No, I don't expect your memory to let me Ever forget it But once in a while I live through a minute And you ain't in it
It didn't take a clock to alarm me I was always up, I'd never sleep Scared to death I'd dream of you That's more'n I wanted to put my old heart through
A big dark cloud followed me around Didn't dare look up or I'd have drowned Thought you took that sun with you But today my curtain let a little peep slip through
