The Hands of Yesterday Loretta Lynn

I won't get too close to you 'cause I remember
What you said that day our love came to an end
You told me when you left, if by chance we ever met
That you didn't want me touching you again

What you said back then has never been forgotten
Like my love for you, that moment seemed to last
Seeing you again, God knows that I like to hold you close
But you want no part of your old lonesome past

You don't want to feel the hands of yesterday
You don't want them touching you in any way
Mine is one caress that you'd just as soon forget
You don't want to feel the hands of yesterday

If I said that seeing you did nothing to me
I'd be telling you a lie 'cause that's not true
I would like to kiss your lips, touch you with my fingertips
But I keep my distance like you asked me to

You don't want to feel the hands of yesterday
You don't want them touching you in any way
Mine is one caress that you'd just as soon forget
You don't want to feel the hands of yesterday

You don't want to feel the hands of yesterday
You don't want them touching you in any way
Mine is one caress that you'd just as soon forget
You don't want to feel the hands of yesterday
