On The Verge Of Tears Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Oh, your memory 

It still amazes me 

Even after all these years 

I'm always on the verge of tears 

I have tried in vain 

To start my life again 

Somethin' always interferes 

'Cause I'm always on the verge of tears 

When I see a friend that we used to know 

When I stop by that little place we used to go 

A quarter in the jukebox, a couple on the street 

It doesn't take a whole lot to get me on my knees 

I still feel your touch 

I still love you way too much 

I'll get over you somehow 

But I think I'm gonna cry right now 

When I hear your name, when they play that song 

I'm getting tired of people asking me what's wrong 

Can't they see I'm trying, everything is fine 

Hell, I'm only crying, crying all the time 

Oh, your memory 

It just won't set me free 

Even after all these years 

I'm always on the verge of tears 

Even after all these years 

I'm always on the verge of tears
