You can take away the keys to a house called home
You can take away the pictures of what’s dead and gone
You can take away the bed where all the love was made
But there’s one thing that you can’t take away
You can’t take me from memory
To your surprise, you didn’t get the best of me
I’ll haunt you when you’re sleep and everyday
You’ll always see just what you threw away
I’ll be right where you don’t want me to be
You can’t take me from your memory
You’ll see me on the road in my new Corvette
Just like you saw me in the rearview on the day you left
When you and all your friends go out to dance
Well you’ll hear them spin my records, girl you won’t have a chance
Cause you can’t take me from memory
To your surprise, you didn’t get the best of me
I’ll haunt you when you sleep and when you pray
You’ll always see just what you threw away
I’ll be right where you don’t want me to be
But you can’t take me from your memory
Just when you think you got away from me
Turn on your radio and there I’ll be
Cause you can’t take me from memory
To your surprise, you didn’t get the best of me
I’ll haunt you when you’re sleep and everyday
You’ll always see just what you threw away
I’ll be right where you don’t want me to be
You can’t take me from your memory
You can’t take me from your memory
