Thank you for makin' this easy for me
I needed this time to myself
Time to look over the polaroid smiles
Proudly arranged on the shelf
I can't help but wonder as I look around
How you could bring somebody new
into a house filled with old memories
Mem'ries of me lovin' you
I can take my cotton gown from the closet
She can hang her satin there instead
I can take this ring off of my finger
But she can't take my love off the bed
Maybe our love didn't go anywhere
But I think it's still hangin' on
Here in this house in the walls in the air
I'll still be here when I'm gone
You tell me you've talked it over with her
And she doesn't mind movin' in
I just don't see how somebody could love
Where somebody's love has been
I can take my cotton gown from the closet...
I can take this ring off of my finger
But she can't take my love off the bed
