Real Thing

(album: The Real Thing - 1970)

(It's gonna take a lot more than a memory
For I had the real thing too long.)

I keep telling myself I'll be all right
With the mem'ry that you left behind
But it will take a lot more than a memory
To keep me from losing my mind.

My memories won't last as a shield from the past
They break down and cry out when we're alone
I need a lot more than a memory
For I had the real thing too long.

For a while I can pull myself together
With a mem'ry and a drink for my heart
But it will take a lot more than a memory
To keep me from falling apart...
