A Man Cant Live On Memories Alone

On the park bench where he met her He placed one last rose On the headstone beside her Reads his name and a date unknown If I were to guess I’d say it won’t be long Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone Once his Heaven is gone His life turns to hell From a home, to a house, turned into a cell The smiles that still hang In the pictures postponed Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone (Pedal steel fill) As the perfume from her pillow Slowly fades away The keystone of his happiness Crumbles more every day The flowers barely wilted He placed on her grave Got tossed in the hole They dug today Once his Heaven is gone His life turns to hell From a home, to a house, turned into a cell The smiles that still hang In the pictures postponed Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone Though teardrops are falling Without a doubt I know he’d say I wouldn’t have it any other way.... Once his Heaven is gone His life turns to hell From a home, to a house, turned into a cell (Fading out)
