Our Past Is In My Way Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Our past is always present where my future is concerned 

And I'd found the doors all locked to me, no matter where I turn 

I can't even build new mem'ries when your mem'ry's here to stay 

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way 

I can't go out with someone else and do the things we'd do 

And I can't even look ahead while looking back at you 

I'm torn between tomorrow and the scars of yesterday 

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way 

I was so much stronger yesterday when you walked by my side 

But I'm weaker for you left me here and my heart within me dies 

What I was speak so much louder than what I am today 

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
