A Man Cant Live On Memories Alone
On the park bench where he met her
He placed one last rose
On the headstone beside her
Reads his name and a date unknown
If I were to guess
I’d say it won’t be long
Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone
Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns to hell
From a home, to a house, turned into a cell
The smiles that still hang
In the pictures postponed
Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone
(Pedal steel fill)
As the perfume from her pillow
Slowly fades away
The keystone of his happiness
Crumbles more every day
The flowers barely wilted
He placed on her grave
Got tossed in the hole
They dug today
Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns to hell
From a home, to a house, turned into a cell
The smiles that still hang
In the pictures postponed
Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone
Though teardrops are falling
Without a doubt I know he’d say
I wouldn’t have it any other way....
Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns to hell
From a home, to a house, turned into a cell
(Fading out)
