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 but the date’s unknown
If I were to guess
I’d say it won’t be long
Cause a man can’t live on memories alone
Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns to hell
From a home, to a house, to an empty jail cell
The pictures still hang
Now the smiles are postponed
Cause a man can’t live on memories alone
As the perfume from her pillow
Slowly fades away
His keystone of happiness
Crumbles more each day
The flowers not wilted
At the site of her grave
Got tossed in the hole
Just yesterday
Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns to hell
From a home, to a house, to an empty jail cell
The pictures still hang
Now the smiles are postponed
Cause a man can’t live on memories alone
Though teardrops are falling
Without a doubt I know he’d say
I love you dear I’ll be on my way....
Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns to hell
From a home, to a house, to an empty jail cell
A man can’t live on…memories alone
