Memory
I have caught a glimpse,
a fleeting glimpse of life in paradise
And I will never be the same
Once you’ve seen the light,
like a crystal Summer’s day, it makes up for
For a thousand days of rain
Even now that it’s gone black
I can smile when I look back
One, two, three, four, five more times
I could take that I’ve gone blind
‘Cause I know you were mine
Even just for that short time
No matter where I go,
where I go from here, I know I’ve been there
Where I was king for just one day
And now there is a place,
a place inside my heart, that holds your picture
And it keeps the dark at bay
Even now that it’s gone black
I can smile when I think back
One, two, three, four, five more times
I’d walk this fragile line
’Cause I know you were mine
Even just for that short time
I may lose all that I own
I may never find a home
But I know once I had it all
Just like Eve and Adam did before the fall
One, two, three, four, five more times
I’d walk this fragile line
’Cause I know you were mine
Even just for that short time
Even just for that short time
