All I Can Be

All I can be is a sweet memory

That drifts through your mind time from 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 your bound to get restless in time

All I can be is a sweet memory

That drifts through your mind

Tonight I'll share the silence

While lying here with you

Sands of time have trickled down

Just a precious few

You're young and so beautiful

And I'm glad that I'm here

But the ending is painfully clear

All I can be is a sweet memory

Of someone you had to leave behind

Who loves you and needs you

Never could give you

A ring for your finger so fine

So tonight we'll just borrow each other

Tomorrow we'll find we've run out of time

All I can be is a sweet memory

That drifts through your mind

For you know I'm not free

And I never can be

And your bound to get restless in time

All I can be is a sweet memory

That drifts through your mind

All I can be is a sweet memory

That drifts through your mind
