C
All I can be is a sweet memory
F C
That drifts through your mind from time to time
G7
I could never be more than a knock on your door
F G7
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine
C
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
F C
And you're bound to get restless in time
G7
All I can be is a sweet memory
F G7 C
That drifts through your mind
G7 C
Tonight I'll shed a silent tear while lying here with you
G7 C
The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few
F
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
D7 G7
But the ending painfully clear
C
All I can be is a sweet memory
F C
Of someone you had to leave behind
G7
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
F G7
A ring for your finger so fine
C
So tonight we’ll just borrow each other tomorrow
F C
Till we find we've run out of time
G7
All I can be is a sweet memory
F G7 C
That drifts through your mind
C
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
F C
And you're bound to get restless in time
G7
All I can be is a sweet memory
F G7 C
That drifts through your mind
