we met in memphis
in a small caffee downtown
she was in for business
i was just on my way out
she was looking lonely over there sipping on a coffee cup
me being the friendly kind i jus couldn't pass this up
so i made my way all over to the corner booth
in my sweetest voice i said "would you care if i joined you"
with a smile she said yes
it was love working in memphis, tennessee, it was meant to be
i could never have known that day she was 'bout to come my way
it was someone else's plan, i guess
i fell in love right there in memphis
we stayed by the river in some town's house hotel sleep
and we made love all night long till we drifted off to sleep
i woke up in paradise
she laying there by my side
with the sound of wedding bells ringing in my mind
so i asked that morning
as we layed there in the sheets
i can't imagine a sweeter sound than the way she answered me
with a smile she said yes
it was love working in memphis, tennessee, it was meant to be
i could never have known that day she was 'bout to come my way
it was someone else's plan, i guess
i fell in love right there in memphis
so i asked that morning
as we layed there in the sheets
i can't imagine a sweeter sound than the way she answered me
with a smile she said yes
it was love working in memphis,
with a smile she said yes
it was love working in memphis, tennessee, it was meant to be
i could never have known that day she was 'bout to come my way
it was someone else's plan, i guess
i fell in love right there in memphis
