Book Of Memories - Lyrics - George Jones
George Glenn Jones was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including "White Lightning", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."

(Bobby Austin)
You've stolen my world from under me
By cheating and deceving me
And now you've gone and set me free
It's in my book of memories.
Inside the book of pages black
With photographs that take me back
I hide the dreams that used to be
Here in my book of memories.
The photograph that shows a bride
And a man with joy he could not hide
And one of a boy on his daddy's knee
It's in my book of memories.

Inside the book of pages black
With photographs that take me back
I hide the dreams that used to be
Here in my book of memories.
The photograph that shows a bride
And a man with joy he could not hide
And one of a boy on his daddy's knee
It's in my book of memories...
