Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You are gone, and all is gone
And through each weary day
Only tender memories remain
Memories are sunbeams
Through a sky of cloudy grey
Memories are roses in the rain
Refrain
Days I knew with you, are just memory
Just a memory, that is all that’s left to me
Happiness, I guess, is just a memory
Just a memory of a love that used to be
Will we share the night, the stars above again?
Will I live to hope, to smile
To laugh again, love again?
In my dreams, it seems your face is near to me
And it’s dear to me, though it’s just a memory!
