Rockin' In The Arms Of Your Memory Lyrics - George Strait

(Dean Dillon/Norro Wilson) 

The first time I saw you 

You were waitin' tables at the corner diner 

I said to myself 

Never seen a woman look any finer. 

From that moment on 

I was stone cold gone 

You would be forever in my mind 

Now somewhere in the neon lights 

I'm holdin' on for dear life 

Rockin' in the arms of your memory, tonight. 

It was San Francisco 

Silly suits and white ties by the bay 

You appeared with your papa 

Tears were rollin' down your mama's face.

Everyone was happy 

Showered by well wishers as we drove away. 

Now somewhere in the neon lights 

I'm holdin' on for dear life 

Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight. 

I'm living but dying 

I'm laughing but crying 

Somebody tell me it will be alright. 

I bought it for your birthday 

God, you looked so lovely in that dress 

I took you to a party 

Or was it to a night club I forget. 

Been twenty years and counting 

I'm drowning in your love a little more each day.

Now somewhere in the neon lights 

I'm holdin' on for dear life 

Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight...
