Between an Old Memory and Me - Keith Whitley

I was sittin' at a table

in a little pub downtown

Playin' songs on the jukebox

and pourin' whiskey down

When I heard a man’s voice saying,

«Would you like some company?»

And I had to tell him,

«this is just between an old memory and me.»

All my friends tell me

I’m a fool for holding on I know they’re tryin' to help me but I’ve been a fool too long

So why can’t they just let me be?

Can’t they see…

This is just between an old memory and me

I’m not hurtin' anybody

as far as I can see

I just need to be alone sometimes

When he goes walkin' through my mind

I don’t want to talk about it So why can’t everybody see

this is just between an old memory and me This is just between his memory and me
