WE MET IN MEMPHIS
IN A SMALL CAFE'
DOWNTOWN
SHE WAS IN
FOR BUSINESS
AND I WAS JUST ON
MY WAY OUT
SHE WAS LOOKIN'
LONELY
OVER THERE
SIPPIN' ON
HER COFFEE CUP
AND ME BEIN'
THE FRIENDLY KIND
I JUST COULDN'T
PASS THIS UP
SO I MADE MY WAY
ON OVER
TO THE CORNER BOOTH
AND IN MY
SWEETEST VOICE I SAID
WOULD YOU CARE
IF I JOINED YOU
AND WITH A SMILE
SHE SAID YES
IT WAS
LOVE WORKIN'
IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
OH IT WAS MEANT TO BE
I COULD NEVER HAVE
KNOWN THAT DAY
SHE WAS BOUND
TO COME MY WAY
IT WAS
SOMEONE ELSE'S PLAN
I GUESS
BUT I FELL IN LOVE
RIGHT THERE
IN MEMPHIS
WE STAYED
BY THE RIVER
IN SOME HIGHRISE
HOTEL SUITE
AND WE MADE LOVE
ALL NIGHT LONG
'TIL WE DRIFTED OFF
TO SLEEP
I WOKE UP IN PARADISE
AS SHE LAID THERE
BY MY SIDE
WITH THE SOUND OF
WEDDING BELLS
'A RINGIN' IN MY MIND
SO I ASKED
THAT MORNIN'
AS WE LAID THERE
IN THE SHEETS
I CAN'T IMAGINE
A SWEETER SOUND
THAN THE WAY
SHE ANSWERED ME
WITH A SMILE
SHE SAID YES
IT WAS
LOVE WORKIN'
IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
OH IT WAS MEANT TO BE
I COULD NEVER HAVE
KNOWN THAT DAY
SHE WAS BOUND
TO COME MY WAY
IT WAS
SOMEONE ELSE'S PLAN
I GUESS
BUT I FELL IN LOVE
RIGHT THERE
IN MEMPHIS
6 BAR
BREAK
SO I ASKED
THAT MORNIN'
AS WE LAID THERE
IN THE SHEETS
I CAN'T IMAGINE
A SWEETER SOUND
THAN THE WAY
SHE ANSWERED ME
WITH A SMILE
SHE SAID YES
IT WAS
LOVE WORKIN'
IN MEMPHIS
WITH A SMILE
SHE SAID YES
IT WAS
LOVE WORKIN'
IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
OH IT WAS MEANT TO BE
I COULD NEVER HAVE
KNOWN THAT DAY
SHE WAS BOUND
TO COME MY WAY
IT WAS
SOMEONE ELSE'S PLAN
I GUESS
BUT I FELL IN LOVE
RIGHT THERE
IN MEMPHIS
WE FELL IN LOVE
RIGHT THERE
IN MEMPHIS
