WATCHING MY PAST GO BY
(Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb – 1947, 1962


I'm sitting here alone 
So many years have gone
And yet it seems like only yesterday
That you were by my side 
We laughed dear and we cried
Those memories refused to go away

There's memories that always bring me sorrow 
And memories I'll treasure till I die
No matter what they bring 
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm sitting here Watching My Past Go By

Ah here’s Leon
INSTRUMENTAL - guitar 

There's smiling eyes of blue 
Would love light shining through
Then like a flash those eyes seem strange and cold
The picture that I see is only meant for me 
Just memories I’ve locked within my soul

There's memories that always bring me sorrow 
And memories I'll treasure till I die
No matter what they bring 
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm sitting here Watchin' My Past Go By
