Love in a Memory

She sleeps alone in the warm nights of Memphis Where the Peabody Hotel meets the velveteen sky She sings like the waves in the cool Mississippi That brought her from St. Paul in '75 And men come to court her with roses and sweet wine Where hands cross the ivories from six until nine She sings away sorrow each night when she leaves him She goes home alone, She's not the marrying kind [Chorus:] Love is a memory that she'll always hold Cause love in a memory never grows old Why she did leave him, well nobody knows Love in a memory never grows old Now he works the toll booth on the New Jersey Turnpike The ring on his finger grows cold to the bone His sons were all dreamers who cheat on their own wives He still dreams of St. Paul when he's cheating alone [Chorus]
