THE MEMORY OF YOUR SMILE
(Ruby Rakes/Fort Knox-Trio Music)

Well, I'm walkin' from one bar to another,
And I don't know where I've gone or where I've been
No one I meet realizes
That I'm tryin' when I know that I can't win

(Chorus:) It's the memory of your smile that nearly drives me wild.
Ain't nothin' ever gonna ease my mind.
I thought that you'd be true. I counted so on you.
I'm lost from a love I'll never find.

Well, I don't know where this pain's gonna wind me.
It gets worse day by day since you're gone.
Well, if only you'd come back and see me,
I know that's my only chance from now on. (Chorus)
