Can't be sure but I think it was a Crystal Gayle song called "Paintin' this old town blue".

Have just found a website where you can listen to a snippet from the song: "Paintin' this old town blue". The lyrics say "a little less memory and a little more wine".

You can check it here to see if it's the same song:

It was Crystal Gayle
I've been sitting here all night long, watching the night unfold
I hear a sad sentimental song, what a lovely way to grow old
All that's left for me is to remonise, to late to stop too far away to keep
I'll forget about you, after I'm through painting this old town blue

I got a lot of good feeling babe, it's got nowhere to go
If it was love you were feeling babe, you just forgot to let go
Oh but all I need is just a little more time, a little less memory and a little more wine
I'll forget about you after I'm through painting this old town blue

There ya go :-)
