Lyrics
Take Me Back 1981 copyright 2003/4
Words and Lyrics by: Ken Morse
She was standing all alone
In a telephone booth
Down in Alabama
Alabama ? Alabama?s so far away
With a trembling hand
She reached for the coins
To make a telephone call
Would he be there today
Would she remember what to say
The phone was ringing
When I came out ~
Just headed out of the shower
Going on a night on the town
Another Night on the town
With a voice a soft as a kitten she said
The words so soft and clear
They were words I knew
Words I wanted to hear
CHORUS
Take Me Back
Take Me Home
Take Me Back
Take Me Home ~~~~~ With you
Seems like yesterday
That I held her Love
Like the Petals ~~ of a tender Rose
That was years ago
And love has since grown cold
A spark remains in my memory
Of her love and of the fears
Of when she went away
She wouldn?t let me near
But hearing her voice ~ So soft tonight
Tears my soul apart
I?ve gotta let her go
And with her goes my Heart
SHE SAID:
CHORUS
Take Me Back
Take Me Home
Take Me Back
Take Me Home ~~~~~ With you
