We laid down outside Memphis
Drawing patterns on the moon
Our sleeping bags were all we had
To keep away the dew
I could not help but wonder
If I could hold you tight
Since that evening chill
I long to hold you still
Haven't seen you since that night
But I close my eyes
And I feel fine
Cause dreams come true by and by
I love you only
But I'm never lonely
Cause you're always there
When I close my eyes
For a time my life was easy
Cause I always seemed to know
One day you'd think of me
And finally see
How much I loved you so
But one cool October evening
Outside the rendezvous
Through the fog and mist
I saw two lovers kiss
One looked an awful lot like you
But I close my eyes
And I feel fine
Cause dreams come true by and by
I love you only
But I'm never lonely
Cause you're always there
When I close my eyes
As the rain hits my windshield
It get louder every timee
I cannot see
Ahead of me
As clear as I see behind
I'm racing out of Memphis
Hard and fast and blind
I Remember when
I was your only friend
Now I'm the last thing on your mind
But I close my eyes
And I feel fine
Cause dreams come true by and by
I love you only
But I'm never lonely
Cause you're always there
When I close my eyes
