All my friends say that they're happy that I'm moving on

First time that they've seen me smile since you up and gone

But your memory won't let me go

Pretty as a picture that you'd hang up on a wall

But she just can't compare to you and it really ain't her fault

I know that I should fall for her

Believe me girl I've tried

But your memory won't let me



She's all good, but you're the best I ever had

Tell me how could she ever compete with that

Ocean Boulevard still has my heart

Close my eyes and there we are

You're still the only place that feels like home

Cause your memory won't let me go

No your memory won't let me



Sometimes when she's close to me I still smell your perfume

And everytime I'm holding her, I'm really holding you

And any man in his right mind would be all hers by now

But your memory won't let me



She's all good, but you're the best I ever had

Tell me how could she ever compete with that

Ocean Boulevard still has my heart

Close my eyes and there we are

You're still the only place that feels like home

Cause your memory won't let me go

Oh your memory won't let me



I know that I should fall for her

Believe me girl I've tried

But your memory won't let me



She's all good, but you're the best I ever had

Tell me how could she ever compete with that

Ocean Boulevard still has my heart

Close my eyes and there we are

You're still the only place that feels like home

Cause your memory won't let me go

Oh your memory won't let me go

No your memory won't let me go

Won't let me

Oh your memory won't let me go
