I Can't Strike That Match Lyrics - Singles - Daron Norwood

I Can't Strike That Match 

( Written by Tim Mensy / Gary Harrison ) 

I find myself sitting here again 

Surrounded by souvenirs 

Letters and cards and tear-stained photographs 

I'm holding matches in my hand 

Got a log in the fireplace 

All that I need to turn old dreams to ash 

Chorus: 

But I can't strike that match 

I'm not sure I'm over looking back 

I tell myself I won't hold on to the past, this can't last 

But I can't strike that match 

Here's one of you and me out west 

The Rockies belonged to us 

We always said that one day we would return 

Here's that written statement of our love 

Signed by the county clerk 

Just a piece of paper that would easily burn 

Chorus: 

But I can't strike that match 

I'm not sure I'm over looking back 

I tell myself I won't hold on to the past, this can't last 

But I can't strike that match 

Holding on is killing me, girl I know I need to let go 

Just set fire to memories, and watch us go up in smoke 

Chorus: 

But I can't strike that match 

I'm not sure I'm over looking back 

I tell myself I won't hold on to the past, this can't last 

But I can't strike that match 

No I can't strike that match
