Memories Remain Even After You'Re Gone
I used to be your best friend
And back then you were mine
But that time has come to an end
Thought maybe that was a sign
We fell in love way too fast
And you know what they say
About things like that from your past
Yet still to this day
Every now and again
I think back to what used to be
Still hear those songs that remind me of way back then
You meant the world to me
Seems like so long ago
Those memories slowly fade to grey
And that man I no longer know
5 years later here I lay
Late at night writing one more time
About the love we used to share
Still I find the words for another rhyme
To write about how much we used to care
A love I used to know so well
You would think after all this time
There'd be nothing left to say
And with that I'd be fine
But then that song begins to play
And I think about that dance
That night in our favorite bar
I was foolish to think we stood a chance
Thought you were my wish upon a star
But instead of being my blessing
You became what you said you'd never be
And you turned into just another lesson
But by far the hardest for me
Still I found the courage to cope
Found a way to get thru your goodbye
Now someone new gives me hope
And I find with him my hopes are high
So now all I can do
Is wish you the best my old friend
Cuz I finally got over you
Even if your memory never ends!!
