[Verse]
AWe laid down outside Memphis
Drawing patterns on the Dmoon
EOur sleeping bags were all we had
To keep away the Adew
I could not help but wonder
A7If I could hold you Dtight
Since that Eevening chill
I long to hold you still
Haven't seen you since that Anight
But I close my Deyes
And I feel Afine
Cause dreams come Etrue by and AbyA7  
I love you Donly
But I'm never Alonely
Cause you're always Ethere
When I close my Aeyes
For a time my life was easy
Cause I always seemed to Dknow
One day you'd Ethink of me
And finally see
How much I loved you Aso
But one cool October evening
A7Outside the rendezDvous
EThrough the fog and mist
I saw two lovers kiss
One looked an awful lot like Ayou
But I close my Deyes
And I feel Afine
Cause dreams come Etrue by and AbyA7  
I love you Donly
But I'm never Alonely
Cause you're always Ethere
When I close my Aeyes
AAs the rain hits my windshield
It get louder every Dtimee
EI cannot see
Ahead of me
As clear as I see beAhind
AI'm racing out of Memphis
A7Hard and fast and Dblind
EI Remember when
I was your only friend
Now I'm the last thing on your Amind
But I close my Deyes
And I feel Afine
Cause dreams come Etrue by and AbyA7  
I love you Donly
But I'm never Alonely
Cause you're always Ethere
When I close my Aeyes

[Verse]

We laid down outside Memphis

Drawing patterns on the moon

Our sleeping bags were all we had

To keep away the dew

I could not help but wonder

A7 D

If I could hold you tight

Since that evening chill

I long to hold you still

Haven't seen you since that night

But I close my eyes

And I feel fine

E A A7

Cause dreams come true by and by

I love you only

But I'm never lonely

Cause you're always there

When I close my eyes

For a time my life was easy

Cause I always seemed to know

One day you'd think of me

And finally see

How much I loved you so

But one cool October evening

A7 D

Outside the rendezvous

Through the fog and mist

I saw two lovers kiss

One looked an awful lot like you

But I close my eyes

And I feel fine

E A A7

Cause dreams come true by and by

I love you only

But I'm never lonely

Cause you're always there

When I close my eyes

As the rain hits my windshield

It get louder every timee

I cannot see

Ahead of me

As clear as I see behind

I'm racing out of Memphis

A7 D

Hard and fast and blind

I Remember when

I was your only friend

Now I'm the last thing on your mind

But I close my eyes

And I feel fine

E A A7

Cause dreams come true by and by

I love you only

But I'm never lonely

Cause you're always there

When I close my eyes
