SOMETHING TO REMEMBER YOU BY

In the corner of my mind,
a cafรฉ where we dined,
Underneath the amber glow,
where our love used to flow.
Laughter in your eyes,
under those starry skies,
Now I sit here all alone,
in the silence of my home.

CHORUS:
But I have SOMETHING
TO REMEMBER YOU BY,
A token of your love
that never says goodbye.
It's a photograph faded,
a memory that's aged in time.
It's these small things,
keep your memory in my mind.

Walking down our street,
where our hearts would meet,
Echoed footsteps bring a chill,
even though against my will.
The park bench where we kissed,
sits there in an empty mist,
In the breeze, I hear your song,
where has our time gone?

In the quiet of the dawn,
before the world moves on,
I still trace the life we planned,
in the palm of my hand.
Though the years pulled us apart,
youโ€™re still beating in my heart,
In the whispers of the past,
our love was gone too fast.

So here's something for you
to remember me by,
A song of my true love,
that never said goodbye.
In the lyrics of our lives,
as the last chorus draws nigh,
In this song and this song only,
our love will never die.

CHORUS:
But I have SOMETHING
TO REMEMBER YOU BY,
A token of your love
that never says goodbye.
It's a photograph faded,
a memory that's aged in time.
It's these small things,
keep your memory in my mind.

I am enjoying the duet between the lead guitar and your lovely vocals - very enchanting. Nice gang vocals and harmonies in the chorus. Such a beautiful melody that carries your tender heartfelt lyrics perfectly. Wonderful production also - nice build in the chorus. I can see why this is a favorite of yours - it was a pleasure to listen to!

Superb take on the old "Oh no, she is gone!" genre.
Fine arrangement, good stereo separation and lovely vocal. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Very catchy little guitar bits. "In this song and this song only,
our love will never die." - great line!

Beautifully moving nostalgic song, Jerry. Very lovely to listen to. Always a pleasure to listen to your songs. Thank you for commenting on mine and for using the word ALWAY which I've discovered, exists. Maybe you like to write a song about it :)

this one hit me pretty hard. you nailed all those small things that memories are made of, and how what was once trivial becomes enormously important
