Take Your Memory With You Lyrics

I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing's changed at all
I've got just one thing to ask you if it's so
Just Take Your Memory With You when you go

So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you when you go

I walk the floor and wonder what went wrong
I'll have to find a way to carry on
Why don't you leave before the heartache starts to show
Take your memory with you when you go

So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you
So I won't have to miss you
Take your memory with you when you go

Take Your Memory With You

Running a tidy 2:34, this early hit for Vince Gill finds the singer at the end of a relationship. He makes just one request of the girl who is leaving him: that she take her memory with her when she goes so he doesn't have to think about what he's lost during those cold, lonely nights.

The song is a throwback to the classic Bakersfield Country sound that Gill loves (his 2013 album Bakersfield is comprised of cover songs from this era). When we spoke with Vince in 2014 , he told us: "That was straight out of a Buck Owens shuffle song or Harlan Howard or Ray Price or any of those guys. I've recorded several others over the years and loved those."
