It's been years since you said goodbye
When you left you left a mem'ry I thought would never die
It took time but I found someone who made me forget
Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest

There was candle light and flowers soft music and wine
When I held her in my arms you didn't cross my mind
She helped me bury a love that was dead
Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest
[ steel ]
We laughed and talked till dawn's early light
And when she asked me if I loved her I didn't think twice
I slipped your ring off my finger without one regret
Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest

There was candle light and flowers...
Last night I laid your mem'ry to rest
