RUNNING INTO MEMORIES OF YOU
(Mel Tillis / Wayne P. Walker / Benny Joy)

Lefty Frizzell - 1965
Little Jimmy Dickens - 1965



 
Funny I keep runnin', funny I keep runnin'
Runnin' into memories of you

Met your new sweetheart today
The one who stole your love away
The love you promised always would be true
He told me everything was fine
He didn't know you once were mine
Funny I keep runnin', funny I keep runnin'
Runnin' into memories of you

Runnin' into memories I know I'll regret
That everyone's a heartache I'll try to forget

Told your new sweetheart goodbye
Brushed a teardrop from my eye
Then walked on down a lonely avenue
A fallen star fell from above
I thought of fools that whisper love
Funny I keep runnin', funny I keep runnin'
Runnin' into memories of you
