You're gone now for good and it looks like I could Stop crying but I cry just the same When a heart breaks how long does it take Till the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains It's been a long time and you think that by this time My tears would have drown on the face I could live with a mem'ry oh but how long will it be Till the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains The fire that we started burns on though we parted And our torture by the heat of the flame If I'm strong enough to take it till the pain stops and can make it When only the mem'ry remains I could live with a mem'ry but how long will it be Till the tears stop and the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains Only the mem'ry only the mem'ry remains
