She can only go so far then he gets in the way
It's hard to love somebody whose wrapped up in yesterday
Now and then she holds me close when we're dancing slow
But that's as far as his mem'ry lets her go
CH)
I'd love to take her down the road to happiness again
But her heart and mind are anchored by the memory of him
Sometimes she almost gives in but stops and lets me know
That's as far as his mem'ry lets her go
Vs2)
I know some day she'll break the chain that binds her heart to him
And I will be here waiting when she's free to love again
But till then I'll understand when tears begin to show
That's as far as his mem'ry lets her go
CHORUS
