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
