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
