Where the music's playin' loud you'll find me in the
crowd
Laughing like an actor in a play
But the teardrops that I hide are just secrets of my
pride
Cause you're always just a memory away

Always just a memory away
I miss you more each night and more and more each day
Lovely ladies that I meet never make my nights
complete
Cause you're always just a memory away

[ fiddle - steel ]
The flashing neon signs are like heartbeats counting
time
And there's twenty four hours in a day
Play the music pour the wine let me drink until I'm
blind
Cause you're always just a memory away

Always just a memory away...
Always just a memory away
