Post 902: Your Memory (5/16/00)

      YOUR MEMORY (KEEPS COMING BACK TO ME) (05/16/00)

IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I’VE LAST SEEN YOUR FACE

EVEN LONGER SINCE I FELT YOUR EMBRACE, 

SO FAR AWAY FROM WHAT I ONCE KNEW

YOU SAID GOODBYE WITHOUT REGRETS

WHILE I WENT INSANE WANTING TO BE WITH YOU

THE ONLY LOVE I’VE EVER KNOWN GONE FROM MY LIFE

BUT NOW TIME HAS PASSED AND I’VE TRIED TO FORGET

(YOUR MEMORY KEEPS COMING BACK TO ME

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES 

I SEE YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN LOVE WITH ME

I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE FINALLY OUT OF MY MIND

BUT VISIONS OF THE PAST I SEE WITH MORE CLARITY THAN MY TV SCREEN

I KNOW I SHOULD FORGET THEM, BECAUSE THEY

REPRESENT A DREAM THAT WILL NEVER BE

YOUR MEMORY KEEPS COMING BACK TO ME)

NOW I’M ON THE VERGE OF PUTTING MY LIFE TOGETHER, 

SO WHY CAN’T I FORGET HER

AND JUST WHEN I THINK I’VE LEFT YOUR MEMORY FAR BEHIND

SOMETHING I SEE OR SOMETHING I DO WILL CALL TO MIND IMAGES OF YOU

(CHORUS)

IT’S SO LONELY HERE, 

I’VE GOT NOBODY TO LOVE

AND FINALLY MOST OF THE PAIN HAS FADED AWAY

BUT IT SEEMS SOME RESIDUAL FEELINGS QUIETLY REMAIN

(CHORUS)
