Memories of a lifetime

 

Standing near the dance floor

watching from across the room

Every where I'd go

your eyes would follow me around

What an introduction

to the memories of a lifetime

 

On a moonlit starry night

I had just began to chill

You brought me a sweatshirt

and you wrapped me deep inside

Deep inside the memories

Memories of a lifetime

 

Chorus 1

That night I fell in love

but how was I to know

That I would spend a lifetime

remembering you

You asked if I could go

but I knew I had to stay

I could have been holding you

but I'm holding the memories

Memories of a lifetime

 

Standing on my family pride

knowing all the pain I'd bring

I made Mom and Daddy proud

when I let you walk away

But you became the memories

Memories of a lifetime

 

Many, many starry nights

often have I thought of you

All I do is close my eyes

and I think about that night

Think about the memories

Memories of a lifetime

 

chorus 2

That night I fell in love

but how was you to know

That I would spend a lifetime

remembering you

I asked if you could stay

But I knew you had to leave

I should have been holding you

but I'm holding the memories

Memories of a lifetime

 

Standing on the edge of time

looking back across the years

Time has taken many things

But it can't take that away

Take away the memories

Memories of a lifetime
