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 *shed a silent tear*    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
