G C
I have your pictures to look at
G D7
And a memory that helps me when I'm blue
G C G
I play those old records that we used to dance to
D7 G
But these things can't take the place of you
C
I need real live arms to hold me
G D7
Warm and tender lips that I can touch yes I do
G C
I play my game but it's not the same
G D7 G
Sometimes a memory just ain't enough
C
The thoughts of you help me keep my mind together
G D7
And though it doesn't always help it's true
G C
Remembering darling that one time you really loved me
G D7 G
It helps to ease the pain of losing you
