Every night I go down to this same little joint
Fill up my glass till I reach the point, past remembering
Where the music is loud, the conversation is free
A dance or two with someone to keep me from remembering

The fool I've been the hurt I've caused
The good woman that I loved and lost
For she's constantly with me in memory

I go home but I couldn't sleep
And after hours I'd be walkin' the streets remembering
A good woman's love is hard to find
And my woman's love was just that kind

And I'm the reason that she's gone today
I miss her so and the price that I pay is remembering
I take her to sleep in my dreams every night
Then start all over in the morning light remembering

The way it was when she loved me
Then like a fool how I carelessly
Broke her heart
Then watched my world fall apart

I'd give this world for yesterday
Just to have her love me the way I remember
Just to have her love me the way I remember
