I Live In The Past Lyrics - Bill Monroe

The day's are so lonely the night are so long 

Our home is a prison since you are gone 

And I'll always wonder why our love didn't last 

With no hope for tomorrow I'll live in the past 

A door that won't knock a phone that don't ring 

The postman goes by and he don't leave a thing 

A pain in my heart and tears in my eyes 

My sweetheart has gone I'm left here to cry 

I'm the biggest pretender you ever could see 

I pretend you still love me false love couldn't be 

And then I remember and I know that its true 

For your with another and I know I've lost you 

I'll just go on dreaming sweet dreams of the past 

Of when you still love me and I thought it would last 

But life is so short and time moves so fast 

I'll never forget you as I live in the past
