Gene Watson Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

Your memory is something that
I never could seem to lose
Oh, I've tried
everything even
Drowning your memory in booze
So I finally decided to lay
down
And die with the pain
Oh, but my heart kept on beating
And softly
repeating your name

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My heart and my mind
know
You're still here with us
(spoken) When they lay me away
The last
words they'll speak
Here lies a man that don't rest in peace

God gave
me your  love and
God knows I threw it away
Oh, what I put you
through
Is the same Hell I'm living today
Now praying don't help
So
dyin's the best I can do
But when it's all said and done
I'll still have
these memories of you

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My heart and my
mind know
You're still here with us
(spoken) When they lay me away
The
last words they'll speak
Here lies a man that don't rest in peace
Here
lies a man that don't rest in peace
