Real Thing (more Than A Memory) Lyrics

(It's gonna take a lot more than a memory for I had the real thing too long)
I keep telling myself I'll be all right with the mem'ry that you left behind
But it will take a lot more than a memory to keep me from losin' my mind
My memories won't last as a shield from the past
They break down and cry out when we're aloneBobby Bare - Real Thing (more Than A Memory) - http://motolyrics.com/bobby-bare/real-thing-more-than-a-memory-lyrics.html
I need a lot more than a memory for I had the real thing too long
[ strings ]
For a while I can pull myself together with a mem'ry and a drink for my heart
But it will take a lot more than a memory to keep me from falling apart
