MEMORIES COME CREEPING FROM THE PAST
MAKING ME MISS YOUR ARMS AGAIN
YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE BUT THE PAIN
IS STILL AS STRONG AS THE MOMENT YOUR
LOVE LEFT ME
WE SIT ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER DAY AFTER
DAY
WE SLEEP IN THE SAME BED YET WE ARE WORLDS
APART.
MEMORIES COME CREEPING LIKE A BURGLAR
ON THE PROWL LURKING BY WINDOWS AND
DARK CORRIDORS THE PAIN GROWS DEEPER
WITH EACH FLASHING SCENE
WE RAISE OUR CHILDREN AS ONE SHOWING THEM
LOVE AND HAPPINESS LIKE NO OTHER
NEVER LETTING THEM SEE THE LIES AND BETRAYEL
THAT WE FACE EVERY TIME WE STAND IN FRONT
OF THE MIRROR
MEMORIES ARE ALL WE HAVE NOW AND THE PAIN
IS ALL THAT LIES AHEAD
MEMORIES WELL LAST FOREVER THE PAIN WELL
SOON SUBSIDE
MEMORIES ARE TREASURES LEFT FROM THE LOVE
OF A LIFE TIME THAT NOW IS GONE
