Before I Lose My Mind
Roy Drusky · Anymore (Decca) [1961]
(Vic McAlpin - Roy Drusky)
You're telling ev'rybody that it's over
That our love affair was just a waste of time
To think I thought I walked in fields of clover
When your sweet love was never really mine.
I'm passing through the gate where the sun will never shine
Too much I know too late how could I be so blind
I try to forget you but I don't have that much time
I know I can't get over you before I lose my mind.
--- Instrumental ---
How could I even hope to keep a mem'ry
When at anytime the past will disappear
When that time comes if I could just remember
One moment of desire when you were here.
I'm passing through the gate where the sun will never shine
Too much I know too late how could I be so blind
I try to forget you but I don't have that much time
I know I can't get over you before I lose my mind...
