(Bill Anderson)

I loved you more in just a few hours
Than most people love in all of their years
And now though you're gone I still have you with me
The sweetest reflections fill the loneliest tears.

And I'll spend my life loving a mem'ry
chasing a rainbow without any gold
I spend my nights dreaming about you
Loving a mem'ry I never can hold.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, what a mark you left on my body
Destroyed my heart and crippled my mind
And if I should live until I'm one hundred
I'll never forget you there's not enough time.

And I'll spend my life loving a mem'ry
chasing a rainbow without any gold
I spend my nights dreaming about you
Loving a mem'ry I never can hold.

Loving a mem'ry I never can hold...
