Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Set up two glasses, Joe, and turn the jukebox low
And let me sit and reminisce
While I pretend that she is sittin' here with me
The way she did not long ago
[Verse 2]
We used to paint the town red and dance until two
Well, I don't paint it red no more, but I'm paintin' it blue
He stole her love I know, but he can't stop me, Joe
From havin' just a dream or two
[Verse 3]
Set up two glasses, Joe, maybe you didn't know
But there's a memory in the room
A memory that walks, a memory that talks
And haunts me everywhere I go
[Verse 4]
I'm just a fool who loves her and will till I die
From the very first hello until the last goodbye
And this is it you know, so fill two glasses, Joe
Then leave me here alone to cry
