Collin Raye - All I Can Be (Is A Sweet Memory) lyrics

All I can be Is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind From 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 Tonight I shed A silent tear While lyin' 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 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 The 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 And all I can be Is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind For you know I'm not free All I can be Is a sweet memory That drifts through your mind
