Getting in My Way

(Dolly Parton)



I wish I could forget you, but I won't

I wish I loved another, but I don't

It's just the same, day after day

Your memory keeps getting in my way.



But I'm hoping I will be alright

But I don't eat, don't sleep at night

I close my eyes I see your face

Your memory keeps getting in my way.



I don't know why I can't forget you

I don't see why I should let you

Keep messing up my mind with all those thoughts of yesterday

Your memory keeps getting in my way.



It's easy for someone to lie

Like saying I'll forget you and I'll try

Here's hoping that I will someday

Your memory keeps getting in my way.



I don't know why I can't forget you

I don't see why I should let you

Keep messing up my mind with all those thoughts of yesterday

Your memory keeps getting in my way...
