Remembering

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 walking 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
