I'll Feed It A Mem'ry by Alan & Di

Country ballad typical of the late 1970s.
This is a work in progress but wanted to share where we're at on it now ... getting close to where we want it! We like to backing tracks quite a bit but still not fully satisfied with the vocal. Maybe the lyric could be better in places?

A Mem'ry Of You

(v1)
Sometimes in the middle of the night
When I'm almost fast asleep
My arms reach out to hold you
Then my eyes begin to weep
My arms, they can't find you
And they don't know what to do
Then my heart begins to ache
And there's only one thing to do

CHORUS
I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you
Green eyes and raven hair, a love that was always true
The I'll ask it to forgive me, for being a fool
Then I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you

(v2)
Only a simple fool
Would have done you the way I did
Now I'm lying here without you
All alone in this big double bed
What I'd give if I hadn't lied
And hadn't been untrue
Now when my heart begins to ache
There's only one thing to do

CHORUS
I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you
Green eyes and raven hair, a love that was always true
The I'll ask it to forgive me, for being a fool
Then I'll feed it a mem'ry, a mem'ry of you
