"Remembering" lyrics

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
Remebering

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
