[Verse 1]
Like someone drowning, I reach for a straw
Grasping for love where there's no love at all
Slowly I'm sinking as time drags by
And sometimes an old memory gets in my eye

[Verse 2]
I struggle for strength to face the dawn
And I'm freezing to death without you to keep me warm
I hold an arm full of nothing close to my side
And sometimes an old memory gets in my eye

[Verse 3]
Sometimes an old memory gets in my eye
And when it's ours, it's hard to keep my eyes dry
Don't think you see tears, for I never cry
But sometimes an old memory gets in my eye
Yes sometimes an old memory gets in my eye
