You're gone you're gone you're really gone and won't be back again
I know I should forget you but my heart just won't give in
So we just sit at home alone your memory and I
My friends would call me foolish but I've got a reason why

We do the same things you used to like to do

I sing the same songs I used to sing to you

It's the only consolation that I've found

But it's the next best thing to having you around

[ steel - steel ]

The sweet love words you whispered then still echo in my ear

Your mem'ry still remains so strong it's almost like you're here

I pictured that you left behind a dress I bought for you

These things mean so much more to me than finding someone new

It's just like old times when you were here with me

We have a good time me and your memory

Before I'm over you I run it in the ground

But it's the next best thing to having you around
