ONE PIECE AT A TIME
(R. Jackson)


Janie Fricke - 1979



I lived with your memory all of those sleepless nights
Though he held me gently, he was holdin' you tight
But you let his love fall to pieces on the ground
And I built a brand new love with pieces I found

I put him together one piece at a time
What was once yours and his is now his and mine
I  erased all those memories that you've left behind
And I put him together one piece at a time

Your memory was strong and it lasted so long
I didn't know where to begin
But the man that you stattered was to me all that mattered
So I put him together again

I put him together one piece at a time
What was once yours and his is now his and mine
I  erased all those memories that you've left behind
And I put him together one piece at a time
Yes I put him together one piece at a time
