A Memory Now

(album: Daylight & Dark - 2014)

Well, I still remember that night when I met you
The moon was hanging lonesome in the sky
And you said you'd break my heart if I let you
It turned out to be the only time you didn't love

And it took years to learn to live without you
But I suppose that it don't matter anyhow
In spite of all the dreams I dreamed about you
You're just a memory now

My mother always said that you were easy
And my brother seemed to think that I was dim
But my heart, my eyes, and brother did deceive me
When I turned around and saw you kissing him

And I'd have died if I thought there was a heaven
But I've learned to live another day somehow
I believe you'd have gave your heart if you had one
But you're just a memory now

Well, that banker, he told us to keep our distance
He didn't think we were ready for a home
He just smiled and said you'd pay it off with interest
So he dipped his pen and left me alone

And it took years to learn to live without you
But I suppose that it don't matter anyhow
In spite of all the dreams I dreamed about you
You're just a memory now

And I'd have died if I thought there was a heaven
But I've learned to live another day somehow
I believe you'd have gave your heart if you had one
But you're just a memory now
