Story Behind The Song
They fell in love in high school. They got married. He smoked and she was allergic to it, he could not quit so they had to divorce. Even though she eventually got married again, she never got over him.
He died of lung cancer. She and he were professional dancers at the Arthur Murray studio. She was a dancer in Hollywood, MGM era and roomed with Marilyn Monroe. She is a friend of mine and she was at my house one day and was in her 80's and still talking about him as though she still loved him. I told her, "Miss Faye" your in love with his memory. That resulted in this song. It's their song.I have not been in touch with her in a long time, so I am not sure if she is even alive now. She lived in Hanford, Ca.

Lyrics
She's in love with his memory,
She'll love him for eternity,
Will she get over him in time,
We'll have to wait and see,
He met her in the mid-west,
Of all the girls in school ,
He liked her best,
They were in love ,there's no doubt,
Hoping that things would work out,
They were so happy as couples can be,
He loved to dance and so did she,
Lyle was his name,
So handsome and kind,
I love you miss Faye,
Will you be mine?
She's in love with his memory,
She'll love him for eternity,
Will she get over him in time,
We'll have to wait and see,
The love of her life was not to be,
He lost his life in misery,
Please relieve the pain in time,
The only thing left is his memory
She's in love with his memory,
She'll love him for eternity,
Will she get over him in time,
We'll have to wait and see,
Will she get over him in time,
We'll have to wait and see,
