Our Love Is a Memory A Southern Soul / R&B Ballad Verse 1 I still ride by that little old street, Where we laughed and danced to that backbeat. Your picture's gone, but the frame's still there, Like your perfume floating through the air. I poured two glasses out of old habit, Then caught myself... ain't that about tragic? The house got quiet, but my heart still speaks, Calling your name every night of the week. Pre-Chorus Time keeps moving, but my soul stands still, Trying to forget you... but I never will. Chorus Our love is a memory, A sweet old melody that keeps on haunting me. It ain't alive, but it won't let go, Like an old slow dance on a radio. You may be gone, but you're still a part of me, Every smile, every tear, every dream I see. I can't hold you... but I still believe, Our love is a memory. Verse 2 Folks say, "Boy, it's time to move on," But they don't know what we had is gone. You can't replace what Heaven designed, Some hearts leave footprints that outlive time. I've met somebody, but it ain't the same, They don't light that old familiar flame. Some loves fade, some disappear, Yours just gets stronger year after year. Bridge If memories could hold me tonight, I'd be wrapped up in your arms so tight. If yesterday could come back around, I'd never let our love touch the ground. Final Chorus Our love is a memory, But it's still the best part of my history. The seasons changed, the years rolled by, Still your name brings tears to my eyes. I'll carry your love until my last heartbeat, A beautiful chapter that made me complete. Even if forever wasn't meant to be... Our love... our love... is a memory. Outro Some people leave your life... But they never leave your heart. That's why our love... will always be a memory.
