At Least I'll Have the Memories

I guess we just weren't meant to be.
At least I'll have the memories...
the memory of your bright face
that no one ever could replace.

As time goes on you'll forget me.
At least I'll have the memories...
the time we shared, our hearts as one.
You made me feel like life was fun.

When you're in love and get married,
at least I'll have the memories
of when into your eyes I'd stare,
of all the good times that we shared.

When you have kids and I'm lonely
at least I'll have the memories
of all the conversations held...
how you caught me before I fell.

Each night I cry myself to sleep
at least I'll have the memories...
When you held me so close, so tight
and I just laid right there all night.

When you find someone else to please
at least I'll have the memories
of gently touching your soft face
and waking up in your warm embrace.

... and when you forget I exist
it will be you that I'll still miss.
I guess that you'll never love me.
At least I'll have the memories...
