Lyric All I Can Be

Harlan Howard

All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind time from 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 your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

Tonight I ll share the silence
While lying here with you
Sands of time have trickled down
Just a precious few
You re young and so beautiful
And I m glad that 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
Never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine
So tonight we ll just borrow each other
Tomorrow we ll find we ve run out of 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 your 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
