I Can't Let You Be A Memory

(álbum: Castles In The Sand - 1983)

Spent a lot of time playing the field
Thinking I knew all there was to know
But I never knew that love was real
Till I watched you come and go

There's been so many women by my side
Most of them just came along for the ride
They all left and I never cried
I think I'm about to

I can't let you be a memory
You just can't remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I'll do anything you want me to

Girl you let me take your heart and run
Never knowing you're the only One
And I can't let you slip away from me
I can't let you be a memory

There's been so many scares on this ol' heart
Piece by piece they've torn it apart
But girl what's left you've had from the start
They couldn't take it away

I can't let you be a memory
You just can't remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I'll do anything you want me to

Girl you let me take your heart and run
Never knowing you're the only One
And I can't let you slip away from me
I can't let you be a memory

I can't let you be a memory
You just can't remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I'll do anything you want me to
