Michael English - Dance With A Memory Lyrics

How can you dance with a memory when that part of your memory has gone

The jukebox was playing her favourite song
Its been so many years now but he's counted each one
His prayers never answered, she never came home
So he sits and he wonders how two became one

He catches the bottle and he holds it real tight
As if they were dancing on that first night
Their short time together, God took her away
Now he prays he will dance with his sweetheart some day

But how can you dance with a memory and remember the steps one by one
How can you dance with a memory when a part of your memory has gone

He'd trade all the medals he'd won in the war
He sits and he wonders what was it all for
His mind starts to ramble, he puts down the glass
As in walks his sweetheart and asks him to dance

But how can you dance with a memory and remember the steps one by one
How can you dance with a memory when that part of your memory has gone

How can you dance with a memory and remember the steps one by one
How can you dance with a memory when that part of your memory has gone
As that part of my memory has gone
