(Marshall Crenshaw) 

    

  It's almost dawn 

and everything's wrong 

I'm wide awake and angry all night long 

Chained to my rockin' chair 

Sometimes it's hard to bear, so hard to bear 

the memory of the laughter that we used to share 

I get lost on the streets 

That we used to walk 

Where we used to find each other in the dark 

Can't find the places where we used to go 

Cause they're nothing like they were before, 

like they were before 

They're not echoing with laughter anymore 

Once in awhile 

I hear a voice in my head 

I start thinking about some random thing that you said 

How I hate to realize 

That things are how they have to be, 

how they have to be 

I still can't believe what happened to you and me 

You were a friend like no other 

I'm afraid that I'm gonna find 

That the memory of your laughter 

Will never leave my mind 

It's almost dawn 

And everything's wrong 

As one more restless night drags on and on 

Chained to my rockin' chair 

'Till I don't know what to do, 

don't know what to do 

With the memory of your laughter 

And the ones we knew 

It will never leave my mind 

...everything's wrong 

I'm wide awake and angry all night long 

Chained to my rockin' chair 

As lonely as I can be, as I can be 

With the memory of your laugher for company 

Lonely as I can be 

Memories for company 

ooooh 

ooooh 

The memory of the laughter that we used to share
