Every night I go down to this same little joint   Fill up my glass till I reach the point past remembering   Where the music is loud the conversation is free   A dance or two with someone to keep me from remembering      The fool I've been the hurt I've caused   The good woman that I loved and lost   For she's constantly with me in memory   I go home but I couldn't sleep and after hours   I'd be walking the streets remembering      A good woman's love is hard to find   And my woman's love was just that kind   And I'm the reason that she's gone today   I miss her so and the price that I pay is remembering      I take her to sleep in my dreams every night   Then start all over in the morning light remembering   The way it was when she loved me then like a fool how I carelessly   Broke her heart then watched my world fall apart      I'd give this world for yesterday   Just to have her love me the way I remember   Just to have her love me the way I remember   Just to have her love me the way I remember
