Memories Of You

i still recall the good times
time spent dreamin' what we'd do
in a fantasy world of hope i never knew
i recall the laughter
and a funny joke or two
In solitary recollection
of my memories of you

i knew that time would pass us by
but i lived a lie so the real world was denied
i knew there was only so far we could go
but gettin' to that place
was better than the show

i still recall the twinkling
of your eyes so deep and blue
they lit the way to a place i never knew
i recall you smiling
so desperate for the truth
in solitary recollection
of my memories of you

i knew that time would pass us by
but i lived a lie so the real world was denied
i knew there was only so far we could go
but gettin' to that place
was better than the show

in solitary recollection
of my memories of you
sitting in the darkness
with my memories of you
i still recall the good times
in my memories of you
