Ernest Tubb's song "One More Memory" tells the story of a person longing for one last meeting with a past love. The narrator requests just one more memory with the person they once knew. They ask for the opportunity to see the person again, even if it's just as friends, as it would mean a great deal to them. The lyrics depict a scenario where the narrator is passing through town and decides to reach out to their past love. They suggest meeting at their usual spot but promise not to bring up the past or talk about previous times they shared together. The narrator respects the choice their love made in the past and only wishes to see them once more, even if it's just for the sake of one more memory. The song implies that the narrator still cherishes the memories they had with their past love and acknowledges that they may be happy in their current life. The narrator doesn't want to cause any pain or difficulty but simply desires one more chance to create a new memory with them. The emotional plea in the song showcases the longing and sentimental attachment the narrator still holds for their past love. They hope for the opportunity to see the person again and create one final cherished memory before moving on.
