Tears start falling I can hardly see

My heart's breaking for old lonesome me

I tell myself I'll be alright and nothing's really wrong

But just then about that time your mem'ry comes along



Each day I tell myself the hurtin's hurtin' less and less

And that I should be happy that you're gone

But time and time again I feel so lonely and I guess

That's the time your mem'ry comes along



And now my tears start falling I can hardly see...

[ guitar ]

Each day I tell myself to go and find somebody new

To replace the love I loved so long

But when I'm holding someone else instead of holding you

Well that's the time your mem'ry comes along



And now my tears start falling I can hardly see...
