"All I Can Be Is A Sweet Memory" lyrics - CONWAY TWITTY

All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your from mind time to time
I can never be more than a knock on your door
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine
For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind
Who loves you and needs you
But never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine
So tonight we'll just borrow each other
Tomorrow we'll find that we've run out of time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

Tonight I'll shed a silence tear
While lying here with you
The sands of time have trickled down
To just a precious few
You're young and so beautiful
And I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending is painfully clear

For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
