The Memory
(©Dave Gibb 2018 PRS/MCPS)




I can't believe you left so long ago
Where the years went - only god knows I suppose
I thought in time all thoughts of you will slip away
But even now the pain and sorrows remain
The gods had smiled on you as good gods do
Ah but that smile was gone too soon

We drift along life's many roads but then
Who knows where they lead and where they will end
The gods gave time to you as good gods do
Ah but that time ran out too soon

All your talk, all the laughs and your crazy ways
Those memories - I'll hold them close and keep them safe

And so I wander on my merry way
Follow old routines - get by from day to day
But now and then a memory brings back all the pain
At least that memory lets me see your smile again
The gods gave friends to you as good gods do
Ah but you left us far too soon

All your talk, all the laughs and your crazy ways
Those memories - I'll hold them close and keep them safe
All your talk, all the laughs and your crazy ways
Those memories - I'll hold them close and keep them safe
