Loving a Memory

(Bill Anderson)



I loved you more in just a few hours

Than most people love in all of their years

And now though you're gone I still have you with me

The sweetest reflections fill the loneliest tears.



And I'll spend my life loving a mem'ry

chasing a rainbow without any gold

I spend my nights dreaming about you

Loving a mem'ry I never can hold.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, what a mark you left on my body

Destroyed my heart and crippled my mind

And if I should live until I'm one hundred

I'll never forget you there's not enough time.



And I'll spend my life loving a mem'ry

chasing a rainbow without any gold

I spend my nights dreaming about you

Loving a mem'ry I never can hold.



Loving a mem'ry I never can hold...
