You're gone now for good and it looks like I could
|
Stop crying but I cry just the same
|
When a heart breaks how long does it take
|
Till the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains
|
It's been a long time and you think that by this time
|
My tears would have drown on the face
|
I could live with a mem'ry oh but how long will it be
|
Till the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains
|
The fire that we started burns on though we parted
|
And our torture by the heat of the flame
|
If I'm strong enough to take it till the pain stops and can make it
|
When only the mem'ry remains
|
I could live with a mem'ry but how long will it be
|
Till the tears stop and the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains
|
Only the mem'ry only the mem'ry remains
|
