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

Chorus
