Crystal Gayle - Gonna Lay Me Down Beside My Memories lyrics

I wish I could wake up feeling
The way I used to
Full of myself and ready to start the day
I wish I could turn my head
Find you in our bed
Instead of that empty pillow where you lay

I wish I could call your
Name and hear you answer
Look in your eyes and listen
To your warm laugh
But all of those times we knew
Are over for me and you
And there's only one way I
Can bring 'em back

Gonna lay me down beside my memories
I gonna turn my thoughts to how it used to be
Gonna hold you in my mind
Reach out and touch old lonesome times
Gonna lay me down beside my memories
I wish we could sit down and
Do us a little talking
Run through the past and sort
Out a thing or two
But you don't agree one bit
You just wanna call it quit's
So there's only one thing left for me to do

Gonna lay me down beside my memories
I gonna turn my thoughts to how it used to be
Gonna hold you in my mind
Reach out and touch old lonesome times
Gonna lay me down beside my memories

Gonna lay me down beside my memories
Gonna turn my thoughts to how it used to be
Gonna hold you in my mind
Reach out and touch old lonesome times
Gonna lay me down beside my memories

Gonna lay me down beside my memories
