Dolly Parton — Sometimes an Old Memory Gets in My Eye

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] I struggle for strength 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 [Verse 3] Sometimes an old memory gets in my eye And when it's ours, 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
