I've thought of you every day since June of '55
|
That picture you gave me has helped me survive
|
I've passed by your house a million times outside of town
|
My mind let my heart stop and take a look around
|
|
It's pretty run down and there's ivy everywhere
|
No scent of your momma's flowers in the air
|
With no yellow paint the front porch looks plain and sad
|
That old swing made me smile bout the times that we had
|
|
I can't remember if it was your fault or mine
|
And you can't trust a memory when it's had too much time
|
I'm haunted by things like your smile and my pride
|
Like that haunted old house I'm empty inside
|
[ steel ]
|
Although it was quiet I swear I could hear
|
The record I bought you by the Platters that year
|
I walked up the front steps but stopped at the door
|
There's nothing for me in there anymore
|
[ piano ]
|
I wiped a tear from your cheek the last time I saw you
|
And I've held it in my hand because well I just wanted to
|
But I lost it today in that lonesome old place
|
That tear I was saving wound up on my face
|
|
I can't remember if it was your fault or mine...
|
Like that empty old house I'm haunted inside
|
