Lyrics

Only a Memory

My mind is filled with thoughts of you I think about the days of two I search the room but you're not there Your perfume lingers everywhere But it's Only a memory Of what our love was going to be Only a memory Broken bits of you and me Only a memory Only a memory In a world of pain I have no peer You fade away and disappear And now I have to learn the game Where no one wins or takes the blame But it's Only a memory Of what our love was going to be Only a memory Now that we are history Only a memory Only a memory But it's Only a memory Of what our love was going to be Only a memory Broken bits of you and me Only a memory Only a memory Why should it matter if I cry I sit around and wonder why Now I feel much too weak to live And I've got nothing left to give Now it's Only a memory Of what our love was going to be Only a memory Broken bits of you and me Only a memory Only a memory Only a memory (Fade)
