Thanks for the memory
Of things I can’t forget
Journeys on a jet
Our wond’rous week in martinique
And vegas and roulette
How lucky I was read more »

I know your leavin’
I see the signs
You’re gonna walk out on this heart of mine
You’ll never call me
You’ll never write read more »

I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing’s changed at all
I’ve got just one thing to ask you if it’s so
Just take your memory with you when you go read more »

Why is it always, when I open my mouth

Cuts through my quick step and tune

Subsistin' on the same old bread

Why don't you let it be

And I realized that I don’t ever use it anymore
In fact last time I did I think it was with you read more »

(Larry Boone/Gene Nelson/Paul Nelson)
I used to love him that ain't no lie
We had a good thing till he said goodbye
Then with one touch you set my heart ablaze
I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame read more »

Bombers in flight
Trident missiles in the air
My missiles underground
Protect us till we're dead
Memories of tomorrow - crying sorrow read more »
