Verse 1

The last time I saw her, she waved me goodbye

I never believed I’d see tears in her eyes

Seasons kept turning, another page gone by

But she never left my heart when the autumn winds cried

Pre-Chorus

We had our sunshine, our laughter, our days

But love sometimes shatters in quiet ways

Chorus

I know I may have hurt you, I know I caused pain

But I never deserted you, never walked away

You’re more than a memory, more than the past

You’re the love that I carry, the one meant to last

Verse 2

As years drift onward, one by one they fall

I still hear your voice in the evening’s call

A man’s gotta live, do what he must do

But every road I’ve walked still leads back to you

Pre-Chorus

Forgive me, sweet darling, if I let you go

I took part of me with you—you should know

Chorus

I know I may have hurt you, I know I caused pain

But I never deserted you, never walked away

You’re more than a memory, more than a name

You’re the fire in my heart, still burning the same

Bridge

If our paths cross again under different skies

May the sun cast no shadows, no old goodbyes

May we see with new light, with truth finally clear

And find what we lost waiting right here

Final Chorus

You are more than a memory, more than time

More than the words I never could find

Our story has pages the world never knew

And I’d still live and grow old if it were with youI’ll live, I’ll grow old, with your love in my soul

You were never a moment—you were always the whole
