A Lonely Night in Memphis

Verse 1 The neon lights are fading, but your shadow’s on my wall. Every song the jukebox’s playing, just reminds me of it all. Chorus Oh, it’s a lonely night in Memphis, and I can’t let you go. My heart’s still burning, darlin’, like a fire down below. I keep calling out your name, but only echoes answer back— on this lonely night in Memphis, I’m waiting for your track. Verse 2 I walk these empty sidewalks, where we used to laugh and dance. Now the streets are filled with silence, since I lost my last romance. Chorus Oh, it’s a lonely night in Memphis, and I can’t let you go. My heart’s still burning, darlin’, like a fire down below. I keep calling out your name, but only echoes answer back— on this lonely night in Memphis, I’m waiting for your track. Bridge If the river could carry my sorrow, I’d send it down to you. But tonight I’ve got nothing except a memory or two. Final Chorus Oh, it’s a lonely night in Memphis, but I’ll keep holding on. ‘Cause somewhere in the midnight, our love’s still singing strong. Though the world has turned away, my soul will never forget— this lonely night in Memphis, where our hearts first met.
