BURNING A HOLE IN MY MIND
(Cy Coben)


Connie Smith - 1967
Kitty Wells - 1967
Skeeter Davis - 1968





Though it happened long ago 
The hurt just won't let go
And it's burning a hole in my mind

I see her and I see you 
And the things we used to do
And it's burning a hole in my mind

I said I'd forget and I tried
But my heart tells my tongue that it lied
Though I try to forgive ev'ry moment I live
Is a torture the devil designed

In my mind's eye I see 
How you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind

(Though it happened long ago) 
(The hurt just won't go)
(It's a torture the devil designed)

In my mind's eye I see 
How you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind
It's burning a hole in my mind
