On the Verge of Tears

Patty Loveless · Dreamin' My Dreams [Sony/Epic] [2005]

Oh, your memory, it still amazes me

Even after all these years I'm always on the verge of tears

I have tried in vain to start my life again

Something always interferes 'cause I'm always on the verge of tears.



When I see a friend that we used to know

When I stop by that little place we used to go

A quarter in the jukebox, a couple on the street

It doesn't take a whole lot to get me on my knees.



I still feel your touch

I still love you way too much

I'll get over you somehow

But I think I'm gonna cry right now.



When I hear your name, when they play that song

I'm getting tired of people asking me what's wrong

Can't they see I'm trying, everything is fine

Hell, I'm only crying, crying all the time.



Oh, your memory, it just won't set me free

Even after all these years I'm always on the verge of tears.



Even after all these years I'm always on the verge of tears...
