[Verse 1]
GAll I can be is a Gsweet memory
That Cdrifts through your mind time from Gtime.
I can Dnever be more than a Dknock on your door,
Just a Cshadow that's gone with the Dsunshine.
For you Gknow I'm not free. . . And I Gnever can be. . .
And you’re Cbound to get restless in Gtime.
DAll I can be is a Dsweet memory that Cdrifts. D. . through Gyour mind.
[Bridge]
DTonight I'll share the silence while Glying here with you.
DSands of time have trickled down. . . GJust a precious few.
You're Gyoung and so beautiful and CI'm so glad that I'm A7here,
But the A7ending is painfully Dclear
[Verse 2]
GAll I can be is a Gsweet memory of Csomeone you had to leave beGhind,
Who Dloves you and needs you, Dnever could give you
A Cring for your finger so Dfine.
So, toGnight we'll just borrow each Gother,
Tomorrow we'll Cfind we've run out of Gtime.
DAll I can be is a Dsweet memory that Cdrifts. D. . through Gyour mind
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
For you Gknow I'm not free. . . And I Gnever can be
And you’re Cbound to get restless in Gtime.
DAll I can be is a Dsweet memory that Cdrifts. D. . through Gyour mind.
GAll I can be is a Gsweet memory that Cdrifts. D. . through Gyour mind.
