Gonna Lay Me Down Beside My Memories - Crystal Gayle

I wish I could wake up feeling the way I used to

Full of myself and ready to start the day

I wish I could turn my head, find you in our bed

Instead of that empty pillow where you lay

I wish I could call your name and hear you answer

Look in your eyes and listen to your warm laugh

But all of those times we knew are over for me and you

And there’s only one way I can bring 'em back

Gonna lay me down beside my memories

I gonna turn my thoughts to how it used to be

Gonna hold you in my mind, reach out and touch old lonesome times

Gonna lay me down beside my memories

I wish we could sit down and do us a little talking

Run through the past and sort out a thing or two

But you don’t agree one bit, you just wanna call it quits

So there’s only one thing left for me to do

Gonna lay me down beside my memories

I gonna turn my thoughts to how it used to be

Gonna hold you in my mind, reach out and touch old lonesome times

Gonna lay me down beside my memories

Gonna lay me down beside my memories

Gonna turn my thoughts to how it used to be

Gonna hold you in my mind, reach out and touch old lonesome times

Gonna lay me down beside my memories

Gonna lay me down beside my memories…
