I Hear A Memory
words and music by Allan Rosensweig
Verse 1:
Last night I travelled back in time
Turned the radio up and I closed my eyes
There's you and I on that dance floor together
Two empty long necks on the bar
And a song I never heard before
And I’m thinking there’s no way that life gets better

Pre-chorus:
Now when I hear that song on the radio
My boots start tapping and before I know it

Chorus:
I feel my hand touch the back of your red dress
I’m a little too close, doing all the wrong steps
All night long I’m trying to
Get up the nerve to finally be kissing you
And when your lips touch mine
For the very first time
I swear the air is heating up a few degrees
To everyone else this is just a country song
But I hear a memory

Verse 2:
I still remember where I stood
I was two drinks in and feeling pretty good
When a band I never heard of took the stage
I wasn’t there to find romance
But I guess God had some other plans
And he must’ve really dug the song they were playing

Pre-chorus:
Now any time I hear it on the radio
The best night of my life is starting over

Chorus:
I feel my hand touch the back of your red dress
I’m a little too close, doing all the wrong steps
All night long I’m trying to
Get up the nerve to finally be kissing you
And when your lips touch mine
For the very first time
I swear the air is heating up a few degrees
To everyone else this is just a country song
But I hear a memory

Bridge:
I turn it up and my old jeans fit me again
I turn it up and you're watching me watch you walk in

Chorus:
I feel my hand touch the back of your red dress
I’m a little too close, doing all the wrong steps
All night long I’m trying to
Get up the nerve to finally be kissing you
And when your lips touch mine
For the very first time
I swear the air is heating up a few degrees
To everyone else this is just a country song
But I hear a memory
To everyone else this is just a country song
But I hear a memory
