There's an old

        
 man sitting n

           
ext to me
             
Making love to

           
 his tonic and

       
 gin

           
He says, "Son,

          
 can you play 

     
me a memory
             
I'm not really

         
 sure how it g

 
oes
             
But it's sad a

          
nd it's sweet 

       
and I knew it 

complete
            
When I wore a 

/        
younger man's 

clothes."

end of mine
             
He gets me my

And he's quick

          
 with a joke a

          
nd he'll light

/
 up your smoke
             
But there's so

           
me place that 

         
he'd rather be

             
He says, "Bill

is is killing 

me."
          
As the smile r
