"I'll Feed It A Mem'ry"

A country ballad with a late 1970s feel. I (Alan) wrote this song many, many years ago ... in the late 1980s or early 1990s (need to find my copyright sheet). We're real happy with the backing tracks but not quite where we want it otherwise. The lyric could probably use a little editing and I need to get my phrasing more precise. It's a work in progress.

I had Gene Watson in mind when I wrote this. Yeah, that would have been nice!

*******************

(v1)
Sometimes in the middle of the night
When I'm almost fast asleep
My arms reach out to hold you
Then my eyes begin to weep
My arms, they can't find you
And they don't know what to do
Then my heart begins to ache
And there's only one thing to do

CHORUS
I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you
Green eyes and raven hair, a love that was always true
The I'll ask it to forgive me, for being a fool
Then I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you

(v2)
Only a simple fool
Would have done you the way I did
Now I'm lying here without you
All alone in this big double bed
What I'd give if I hadn't lied
And hadn't been untrue
Now when my heart begins to ache
There's only one thing to do

CHORUS
I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you
Green eyes and raven hair, a love that was always true
The I'll ask it to forgive me, for being a fool
Then I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you

TAG
A mem'ry of you
