One for the money   One song I'm writing for you   And if you can't take me with you girl   Take this Melody for a Memory      Love in the morning   Love in the late afternoon   There'll be no words when I leave you girl   Just a Melody for a Memory      And if you can't take me with you   Take this Melody for a Memory      She cried when he left her   Her eyes went black with the blue   The infrequent letters   The sooner the better   The cold distant phone calls   Will have to do      And if you can't take me with you   Take this Melody for a Memory      Take part of me, take part of me   Take this Melody for a Memory
