(Claude François/Bernard Kesslair)



There's a little shack on the edge of town.

Just a little shack kind of tumble down

But it used to be our secret place

Where we used to meet every night.

Those broken walls saw the first embrace

Saw me kiss your lips and caress your face

And the whispered words as we fell in love

Saw me reaching out to dim the light.



And now in my memory, I see you standing there with me,

Though our love wasn't meant to be, you are with me still in my memory.



Ah but all to soon I was called away

And I promised you i'll be back some day.

Then we settled down on the edge of town

But I stayed away too long.

I sent word to you I was coming back

Said we'd rendez-vous in the little shack.

As I reached the door this is what I saw

Just a note that said you were gone



And now in my memory, I see you standing there with me,

Though our love wasn't meant to be, you are with me still in my memory.

And now in my memory, I see you standing there with me,

though our love wasn't meant to be, you are with me still in my memory.

And now in my memory, I see you standing there with me,

though our love wasn't meant to be, you are with me still in my memory.
