Backstory:
Doug took the pictures in the slide show from his trip to Denver and Sedona with a woman he loved deeply who broke his heart and moved away to California.
We changed Sedona to Phoenix in the song due to the fact that Sedona has three syllables and didn't work as well musically in the song.
You can see the beautiful slide show of his trip on YouTube at this web address. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvoBhGeiNDo
Lyrics:
I DON’T REMEMBER DENVER
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
It must have been beautiful
Not much I recall
CHORUS
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
[VERSE]
Then 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
[CHORUS]
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
VERSE
But she left me in Memphis
In the dead of the night
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
CHORUS
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
