---JUST A MEMORY (w/ Johnny Hodges)---
--Duke Ellington--

Layin' about, lyin' in bed
Maybe it was something that I thought I'd said
With the tempo of today and the temptation of tomorrow
I don't know if I could give you anything but sorrowThey stay alive this late on Radio Five
But the pen that I write with won't tell the truth
'Cause the moments that I can't recall
Are moments that you treasure
Better take another measure for pleasureLosing you is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to meNow you're here, I'm here too
Could be this easy for me and youLosing you is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to meLyin' about, layin' in bed
Maybe it was something that I thought I'd said
