all i can be

all i can be is a sweet memory

that drifts through your mind time from time

i can never be more than a knock on your door

just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine

for you know i'm not free

and i never can be

and your bound to get restless in time

all i can be is a sweet memory

that drifts through your mind

tonight i'll share the silence

while lying here with you

sands of time have trickled down

just a precious few

you're young and so beautiful

and i'm glad that 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

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 your 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
