My Special Memory

George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses

You were something special and I loved you

You left me and you hurt me and I still will do

I can almost feel you touch me as I think about what used to be

Yes, you are still my special memory.



The kind of love that you gave me, it was a special kind

I could never find anoher you so I don't waste my time

I keep you locked up tight in my mind and no one can ever see

But you are still my special memory.



My special memory I know you will always be

My special memory is holding on to me

I'll be happy as long as you walk across my mind at least once a day

'Cause you are still my special memory...
