For The Memories
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've gone as far together this love will let us go
There's been lights of love along the way
And I remember just enough to know how much we had
And I'm saving it all for the memories
It's not right to hold someone like we held on to us
Lord knows the price is high for being free
And I look back and cry about the times you cried for me
Yes I'm saving it all for the memories
The soft warm nights that I spent lying in your loving arms
And the way I used to feel when you still met me at our door
All the love we had is gone except the part of me
And I'm saving it all for the memories
[ piano - steel ]
The soft warm nights that I spent lying in your loving arms...
Yes I'm saving it all for the memories
