Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I’ve taken down all of her picturesI’ve cleaned out all of her drawersI’ve painted over the scratchesFrom all of our little wars
I’ve put away every giftThat she ever gave to meNow everything is in its placeExcept for her memory
And where do I put her memoryWhen it haunts me night and dayI can’t hide it in the closetAnd Lord, I can’t throw it away
And where do I put her memoryWhen it’s always in my mindI can’t chase it, erase it, I just have to face itIt’s gonna be there a long, long time
I got rid of the pillowWhere she used to lay her headI’ve picked up her hairpins and curlersThat she dropped on her side of the bed
I’ve locked away each souvenirAnd thrown away the keyNow everything is in it’s placeExcept for her memory
And where do I put her memoryWhen it’s always in my mindI can’t chase it, erase it, I just have to face itIt’s gonna be there a long, long timeIt’s gonna be there a long, long time
