Carl Dixon - Can't Love A Memory Lyrics

I wanna tell you a story there was a woman and a man You might find it applies to your own case If you've been let down and don't understand There was no single thing you could point to that he did wrong But she fell out of place when she fell out of love Until one day he turned around and she was gone You Can't Love a Memory It's like huggin' a wisp of smoke Like clinging to the ways of a world gone by Or spending like you ain't broke You can't love a memory There would be no happy ending; they were bound to come apart Some went off on their merry way, some held tight to their broken heart And let's say this guy had good intentions but he just didn't know That when somebody wants to walk away you've gotta move on and just let 'em go You Can't Love a Memory It's like huggin' a wisp of smoke Like clinging to the ways of a world gone by Or spending like you ain't broke You can't love a memory Everybody needs time to grieve when a love's been lost but I'm telling you (Can't love a memory) Just like they're telling you (Can't love a memory) A memory won't love you back so let it fade away to black There's nothing there for you (SOLO) It's not a dream it's an illusion That has you caught in this confusion The question is it's own solution Are you gonna be weak or strong? You Can't Love a Memory It's like huggin' a wisp of smoke Like clinging to the ways of a world gone by Or spending like you ain't broke You can't love a memory You just can't do it, you get nothing in return Pull your head out and get back to the land of the living
