“Heartbreak Ballad of Lost Love”

Classic 1960s Country Duet • Sung by Country Cate


Experience a classic country heartbreak ballad. This 1960s duet captures the bittersweet feeling of a love that's faded, where two lovers agree to part, and all that's left are memories.

Lyrics:

I don't know when it started dyin'
All I know's we both stopped tryin'
Now it's gone there's nothin' left that used to be.
Our love was sweet when we first found it
But now there ain't no gettin' round it
I'll only hold you again in memory

Just like the flash of fireworks burnin'
What was hot is not returnin'
Dyin' embers all that's left of you and me
Both on our own is where we're goin'
And the only thing I know
I'll only hold you again in memory

In memory when you kiss me the world seems so right
In memory when you're with me I'm holding you tight.
We're better off now that we've parted
Neither one is broken hearted
I'll only hold you again in memory

In memory when you kiss me the world seems so right
In memory when you're with me I'm holding you tight.
We're better off now that we've parted
Neither one is broken hearted
I'll only hold you again in memory
I'll only hold you again in memory
