Yesterday's Memories
Eddy Arnold · Tears Broke Out On Me [1982]
YESTERDAY'S MEMORIES
Writer Hank Cochran
Yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go Goin' to the place
where we used to park Just like always,
it was still and dark But it was a little too much
for my poor heart Yesterday's mem'ries tore me apart
Today I walked down to that little café where we used
to go And I waited for our favourite booth The one
we always sat in, not too long ago But when I sat down,
tears began to flow Yesterday's mem'ries won't let
me go Anymore, if there's anyone around I start to
cry I just say, "Excuse me,
but there's a mem'ry in my eye" Oh my friends,
things were mine, they ought to be That I was happy
with new arms wrapped around me But as I lied,
I cried, and they could see Yesterday's mem'ries, got hold of me
