Drinking to Remember

One too many cocktails

Been placed in front of me

But, I don't really mind

'Cause they're good company

since my baby said goodbye

Well, I've been feeling down

And, in order to pick myself up

I'll just order another round

 

'Cause I've been drinkin' to remember

Been drinking to forget

About the day we broke up

And about the day we met

And all that time in-between

Right now, it's just a blur

So, I'll just keep on drinkin'

And make a toast to her.

 

I've thrown away her pictures

And gifts she gave to me

Although it's been a while

I can't shake her memory

She's the first thing I think of

In the morn

And the last thing

Late at night

 

I never thought she'd leave me

But, I guess I didn't think right

 

So, now I'm drinkin' to remember

And drinking to forget

About the day we broke up

And about the day we met

And all that time in-between

Right now, it's just a blur

So, I'll just keep on drinkin'

And make a toast to her.

(Instrumental)

 

Oh, lord, I feel like a fool

Lord, help me off this stool

I wish this torment would end,

But if it don't

I guess then….

 

I'll keep on drinkin' to remember

And drinking to forget

About the day we broke up

And about the day we met

And all that time in-between

Right now, it's just a blur

So, I'll just keep on drinkin'

And make a toast to her.
