All I Can Be (Is a Sweet Memory) Lyrics

All I can be
Is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
From time to 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 you're bound
To get restless in time
All I can be
Is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mindTonight I shed
A silent tear
While lyin' here with you
The sands of time

Have trickled down
To just a precious few
You're young and so beautiful
And I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending is painfully clearAll I can be
Is a sweet memory
Of someone you had
To leave behind
Who loves you and needs you
But never could give you
The ring for your finger so fine
So tonight we'll just borrow
Each other tomorrow
We'll find that we've run out of time
And all I can be
Is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mindFor you know I'm not free
All I can be
Is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
