Play Me a Memory

The bar is almost empty, it's close to closing time
I'm feeling sentimental, I've had a little wine
I've been over in the corner waiting all night long
Still I haven't heard my song

Play me a memory, a spring afternoon
I don't remember all the words but I can hum the tune
Play me a feeling, soft sweet and slow
I don't know how love arrives but I know how it goes

Play me magnolias, play me some rain
Stardust and autumn leaves and a moonlight seranade
Whenever he was holding me, I heard violins
Play me a memory, take me there again

Play me a bridge to yesterday
A blue train, a sad refrain
All that remains of love, my love

Play me a feeling soft sweet and slow
Play me a memory, a sad and smokey reverie
I don't know how love arrives but I know how it goes
Play me a memory
