Dolly Parton Lyrics
"Sometimes an Old Memory Gets in My Eye"

(Bill Owens)

Like someone drowning I reach for a straw
Grasping for love where there's no love at all
Slowly I'm sinking as time drags by
And sometimes an old memory gets in my eye.

I struggle for strenght to face the dawn
And I'm freezing to death without you to keep me warm
I hold an arm full of nothing close to my side
And sometimes an old memory gets in my eye.

Sometimes an old memory gets in my eye
And when it comes it's hard to keep my eyes dry
Don't think you see tears for I never cry
But sometimes an old memory gets in my eye.

Yes sometimes an old memory gets in my eye...
