SOMETIMES A MEMORY AIN'T ENOUGH
(Stan Kesler)


Jerry Lee Lewis - 1973


I have your pictures to look at
And a memory that helps me when I'm blue
I play those old records that we used to dance to
But these things can't take the place of you

I need real live arms to hold me
Warm and tender lips that I can touch, yes I do
I play my game, but it's not the same
Sometimes a mem'ry just ain't enough

(Instrumental Break)

The thoughts of you help me keep my mind together
And though it doesn't always help, it's true
Just remembering darling that one time you really loved me
It helps to ease the pain of losing you

I need real live arms to hold me
Warm and tender lips that I can touch
Yes, I play my game, but it's not the same
Sometimes a mem'ry just ain't enough
Sometimes a mem'ry just ain't enough
