Lyrics
She Left Her Memory
Verse 1
Like a cat she slowly moved across the dance floor
Never once did her dark eyes give her away
And the way she moved her body to our music
Will stay with me until my dying day
Chorus
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
Never knew another woman who could be so bold
She opened up my eyes to see and when she set me free
SHE LEFT HER MEMORY
Verse 2
A tatooed spider where most men don't get to see her
I still smell her perfume, Chanel #5
And Marilyn Monroe was her biggest hero
These images of her helped me survive
Chorus
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
Never knew another woman who could be so bold
She opened up my eyes to see and when she set me free
SHE LEFT HER MEMORY
Bridge
She came into my life when I was drowning
Stayed long enough to ease the pain inside
Her beauty helped me wash away old memories
And thou she's gone she gave me back my pride
Yes, sir....(INST)
Chorus
Now, I don't know, but I've been told
Never knew another woman who could be so bold
She opened up my eyes to see and then she set me free
Outro
No..., I don't know, but I've been told
Never knew another woman who could be so bold
She opened up my eyes to see and when she set me free
SHE LEFT HER MEMORY
SHE LEFT HER MEMORY
I love those memories
SHE LEFT HER MEMORY
I love those memories.......yeah!!!
