All I can be is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind from time to time I could never be more than a knock on your door Just a shadow thats gone with the sunshine For you know Im not free and I never can be And youre bound to get restless in time All I can be is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind Tonight Ill shed a silent tear while lying here with you The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few Youre young and so beautiful and Im so glad Im here But the ending painfully clear All I can be is a sweet memory Of someone you had to leave behind Who loves you and needs you but never could give you A ring for your finger so fine So tonight lets just borrow one memory for tomorrow Til we find weve run out of time All I can be is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind All I can be is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind
