Memories Lyrics

The day you leave my mind

Is the day you lose the fight

You've got the right to fear

One day you'll be no more than a souvenir

Let the memories run their course I won't forget

Let the fire burn the forest

I promise you'll never be

Less than a world to me

I know that I'm the one

Who told you not to be afraid

But truth is I'm in fear

The night sky is so dark out here

I saw the reaper from up close

He held your throat right in his claws

And I begged him to let you go

But he won't listen to me you know

Let the memories fade

Let the secrets to the grave

Let the past become

Only a thought to me

Let the time go by

Let the rain drain rivers dry

Let it fade and stain

The letters you wrote to me

You know you bring me faith

In this soiled world we make

The future's in my hands

But how will I keep on without you

The melodies you made

They're still ringing in my head

But the present won't stand still

For me to catch my breath

Let the memories fade

Let the secrets to the grave

Let the past become

Only a thought to me

Let the time go by

Let the rain drain rivers dry

Let it fade and stain

The letters you wrote to me
