(Jim Quealy)

I lie awake in bed at night and think

Closing both my eyes, I can't sleep a wink

Go down and turn the TV on

Count the days that you been gone

Talkin' myself into having one more drink

The memory is achin' in my heart

Poundin' like a hammer and it stings like cupids' dart

The memory is achin' in my heart

I just got to tell ya it's tearin' me apart

We'd lie around in bed all day and talk

The coffee and the papers and the Sunday morning walk

A new recipe that we would try

I would wash, you would dry

Someone I could always stand to lie beside

The memory is achin' in my heart

Poundin' like a hammer and it stings like cupids' dart

I hope that you're enjoying your new start

But I just got to tell you, baby

It's tearin' me apart

Ripped up at the seams, so many broken dreams

Just left here to wonder

Will I ever be the same?

Will I recover from this shameless spell you've left me under?

You always gave me reason to believe

It's better to forgive than to receive

Since you made your mind up you would leave
