[Verse 1] I get up each morning, as the day breaks my heart, again With my first cup of coffee, the missing you begins As I head out the door to work, I see that picture of you And I have to stop and cry a while, 'cause it's all that I can do [verse 2] Work is just a waste of time, with you on my mind Every single second just seems to trickle by Then Sue from down the hall stops by to see how I am today, And I just say, "I'm doing fine", and she smiles and walks away [chorus] The life a memory leads is preying on my mind And my heart still believes that I will never find A life like you and I led, and the way things used to be But, so goes another day in the life of a memory [Verse 3] After work it's happy hour, down at Rosie's Bar and Grill Where the music and the whiskey drown out the hurt until I walk through that front door and into my lonely room And I break down and start to cry, for there waits that memory of you [Chorus] The life a memory leads is preying on my mind And I can't help believing that I may never find A love like you and I had, and the way things used to be But so goes another day, in the life of a memory [outro] Through the tears I turn off the lights, and fade on off to sleep So, ends another day, in the life of a memory
