I Took A Memory For Lunch
Recorded by Bobby Bare

G C
Today the weather was so pretty
D7 G
At noon I went out for a stroll
C
I walked and did some window shopping
D7 G
And met someone I used to know
C
The years have been kind to her beauty
D7 G
When I first saw her my heart jumped
C
Tonight if I seem disenchanted
D7 G
It's because I took a memory to lunch
C
We sat and talked about the old days
D7 G
With misty teardrops in our eyes
C
And reaffirmed an old suspicion
D7 G
The past grows old but never dies
C
The charm that draws two hearts together
D7 G
By four o'clock was just too much
C
The days and years we had between us
D7 G
Were down to just two coffee cups
C
You can't relieve life in an hour
D7 G
The afternoon kept wearing on
C
I'm sorry that I'm late for dinner
D7 G
I took a memory to lunch
