last night, ev'ry night

i watch you as you wake and rub your eyes and try to hide them from the morning sun

i whisper how ya doing and you smile and say so tenderly good morning hun

last night you made his memory fade a little

you helped me see how love can still be right

i wish you didn't have to leave

if you just knew how much i need

last night

ev'ry night

i know you have to catch a plane to memphis

and you mentioned it's an early flight

you start to pack

and while i comb my hair

i stare at you and think about last night

cause last night you made his memory fade a little

you helped me see how love can still be right

i wish you didn't have to leave

if you just knew how much i need

last night

ev'ry night

i slip into my robe to go make coffee

you come in and pull me close to you

and as i feel your tender kiss

i whisper can't memphis wait a day or two

cause last night you made his memory fade a little

you helped me see how love can still be right

i wish you didn't have to leave

if you just knew how much i need

last night

ev'ry night

cause last night you made his memory fade a little

you helped me see how love can still be right

i wish you didn't have to leave

if you just knew how much i need

last night

ev'ry night
