It's been years since you said goodbye When you left you left a mem'ry I thought would never die It took time but I found someone who made me forget Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest There was candle light and flowers soft music and wine When I held her in my arms you didn't cross my mind She helped me bury a love that was dead Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest [ steel ] We laughed and talked till dawn's early light And when she asked me if I loved her I didn't think twice I slipped your ring off my finger without one regret Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest There was candle light and flowers... Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest
