I'll Keep Holding Your Memory - Gene Watson

Maybe it's been so long. Our house looks kind of different. But the empty rooms still mean the same to me. And as I wander through the darkness. I'll keep crying one last tear. Now your lips are gone. I'll kiss your memory. I'll kiss your memory As though you were here. I'll hold your memories till you reappear. And as I wander through the darkness I'll keep crying one last tear. Now your lips are gone, I'll kiss your memory. I'll kiss the thoughts of leaves that fell when summer was over. And I'll cherish all the thoughts you gave to me. And I will wander through the darkness. I'll keep crying one last tear. Now your lips are gone, I'll kiss your memory. I'll kiss your memory As though you were here. I'll hold your memories till you reappear. And as I wander through the darkness I'll keep crying one last tear. Now your lips are gone, I'll kiss your memory.

I thought I had myself all figured out But I spent my whole life holding myself down And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly Addicted to the pain I cause myself My head is floating somewhere in the clouds While I'm paid to entertain a lovely crowd They sing my songs and feel my pain Cause pain is what creates my fame A vicious cycle some day I'll get out I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on It's hard enough try walking in my shoes, To be picked on by my peers who much abuse And I'm tired of not fitting in true friends is my final wish Just let me be myself and make it through. I have tried so hard to be a better soul I have worked so hard at making myself whole And through it all my better years are still ahead my mind is clear Just trust me when I say I'm in control I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on I believe I'm just like you I believe I'll make it through It's hard to see at times like this But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in I believe I'm just like you I believe I'll make it through It's hard to see at times like this But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in And all I need is a microphone I'll sing about the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on

Give me something I can hold With that something I will grow Make me crazy with your arms It's all gone hazy, it's all gone wrong How can you decline such grand designs? And I'm flattered that you thought I make a good reward, but Olympian, framed by God So bring me water to cool off How can you decline such grand designs? And I'm flattered that you thought I make a good reward How can you survive my blatant lies? I'm flattered that you thought So come taste my good reward Formidable, but not afraid Of the next world, just delayed I... I'm wanted to be there with you For I can only be normal with you I...

Woke up in Beijing With someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Strangers, they don't look like mine Through someone else's words Just to take a break from mine It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments

Walk across and talk to me 'Cause it's late And it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going It could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers Just a little sound Say what you're thinking Tell me where you're going 'Cause I need you now Well, it could be easy It could be easy But we keep on trying so hard But I don't even We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything But all I want to hear is you Walk across and talk to me Just a little whisper in my ear Tell me what you're thinking Thinking about It could be easy It could be easy We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you What you saying What you doing Keep on talking Louder and louder What you saying Keep on talking Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder It could be easy

Drive, drive drive, drive You want to drive all night Follow the yellow lines Don't stop or look behind And you don't want to know where you're going Just want to get lost sometimes together Drive, drive drive, drive Get lost together Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Want to get lost? You don't want to know where you're going Stepping through a hallway of trees Getting lost to nowhere's good to me Wild eyes in the high high beams Staring back at me Into endless night Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me

There was a time Where our years still just feel alive Then the world started to change And it never quite felt the same And the sky turned to fire And the people cried, oh why, oh why So they looked far and wide When the answer was in front of their eyes Little children started to cry, oh Screaming, Mama and Papa, oh why, oh why So they told them a lie Just to silence them Say goodnight And the people started to die He's singing, what a shame They've been waiting for the moment when they're finally dead Singing ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame Ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame What a shame What a shame Ooh, what a shame What a shame We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill He's singing, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He cried, what a shame He cried, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He sang, what a shame
