I Can't Get That Last Memory Down

Carl Smith

There’s a lonesome cabaret
Where i sit and drink my wine
And i try hard every night
To drink you from my mind

But just when things are looking up
That old feeling comes back around
And i can’t get that last memory d-own

That’s when that old hurting pain will start
Pain i can’t swallow with a tear caught in my heart
Then i almost lose my mind and i think of your embrace
I just stare into the wine and i see your loving face

No matter just how hard i try
When closing time comes around
I can’t get that last memory d-own
