Real Thing (more Than A Memory) Lyrics

It's gonna take a lot more than a memory for I had the real thing too long) I keep telling myself I'll be all right with the mem'ry that you left behind But it will take a lot more than a memory to keep me from losin' my mind My memories won't last as a shield from the past They break down and cry out when we're alone I need a lot more than a memory for I had the real thing too long For a while I can pull myself together with a mem'ry and a drink for my heart But it will take a lot more than a memory to keep me from falling apart
