I DON’T REMEMBER DENVER 

V1
She said it was raining,
The first night we met.
At a bus stop in Denver,
cold and wet.

She said we went camping
In the Rockies that fall,
Oh, it must have been beautiful
Not much I recall.

CH
But I remember her face,  
Every strand of her hair.  
The warmth of her laughter, 
That filled the air.  
The sound of her heartbeat as she lay in my arms.  
But I don’t remember …don’t remember Denver at all.  

V2
And we met out in Phoenix
in the middle of May
I came in from Austin,
She from L.A.

We hiked through the desert
with its red canyon walls
Oh, it must have been stunning,
Not much I recall.

CH
But I remember her face,
Every strand of her hair.
The warmth of her laughter,
That filled the air.
The sound of her heartbeat as she lay in my arms,
But I don’t remember .. don't remember Phoenix at all.

Bridge
Well, it’s really quite simple when a man falls in love,
That girl is the only thing he’s thinking of.

V3
But she left me in Memphis
In the dead of the night
With a note by the bedside,
In the cold morning light 
I searched every corner
Tore Beale Street apart
But they were as empty
as my broken heart

CH
But I can still see her face,
Every strand of her hair.
Still hear her laughter,
That filled the air.
Can't shake the memories
As hard as I try
No, I can't forget,
Can't forget Memphis at all
Can't forget Memphis at all
Can't forget Memphis at all
