Sweet
memory
that drifts through your mind from time to time I
Can never be more than a knock on your door
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine
And you're bound to get restless in time
all
I can be is a sweet memory
that drifts
through your mind
Tonight I'll shed a silent tear while I'm here with you
The sands of time have trickled down just a precious few
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending
is 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 we'll just borrow each other
Tomorrow
we'll find we've run out of time
All I can be is a sweet memory that
drifts through your mind
For you know I'm not free and I never can
be And you're bound to get restless in 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
