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
