Some folks said I was getting' well   But through the tears I couldn't tell   I could not see past yesterday   'Cause your memory stood there in my way      A lonely mind plays funny tricks   Works on things that can't be fixed   It's bound to dwell on what you miss   Like a midnight touch or a morning kiss      Chorus:   It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it   But I had to draw the line,   A million tears is a man's limit   No, I don't expect your memory   To let me ever forget it   But once in a while I live through a minute   And you ain't in it      It didn't take a clock to alarm me   I was always up, I'd never sleep   Scared to death I'd dream of you   That's more'n I wanted to    Put my old heart through      A big dark cloud followed me around   Didn't dare look up or I'd have drowned   Thought you took that sun with you   But today my curtain    Let a little peep slip through      Chorus:   It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it   But I had to draw the line,   A million tears is a man's limit   No, I don't expect your memory   To let me ever forget it   But once in a while I live through a minute   And you ain't in it      No, I don't expect your memory   To let me ever forget it   But once in a while I live through a minute   And you ain't in it      Nah, You ain't in it...
