Murray McLauchlan - One Who's In The Past lyrics

There ain't no man can measure up To one who's in the past Real men give you arguments And take your comforts last You hold on to a memory And pray that it will last There ain't no man can measure up To one who's in the past There ain't no man can measure up To one who's in a dream And if your dream came to life And saw what he had been He'd laugh at your invention And know that it can't last There ain't no man can measure up To one who's in the past When you are cold and lonely You must fill your heart With memories of a love you shared Though you are far apart Memories of a love you shared Over all too fast There ain't no man can measure up To one who's in the past There ain't no man can measure up To one who's in the past
