You Ain't In It

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...
