[Verse 1]

G                 G
All I can be is a sweet memory
     C                                  G
That drifts through your mind time from time.
      D                    D
I can never be more than a knock on your door,
       C                           D
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine.
        G                            G
For you know I'm not free. . . And I never can be. . .
           C                        G
And you’re bound to get restless in time.
D                 D                 C       D           G
All I can be is a sweet memory that drifts. . . through your mind.


[Bridge]

D                                    G
Tonight I'll share the silence while lying here with you.
D                                     G
Sands of time have trickled down. . . Just a precious few.
       G                          C                    A7
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad that I'm here,
        A7                  D
But the ending is painfully clear



[Verse 2]

G                 G               C                          G
All I can be is a sweet memory of someone you had to leave behind,
    D                        D
Who loves you and needs you, never could give you
  C                       D
A ring for your finger so fine.
      G                            G
So, tonight we'll just borrow each other,
               C                     G
Tomorrow we'll find we've run out of time.
D                 D                 C       D           G
All I can be is a sweet memory that drifts. . . through your mind

[Outro]

        G                            G
For you know I'm not free. . . And I never can be
           C                        G
And you’re bound to get restless in time.
D                 D                 C       D           G
All I can be is a sweet memory that drifts. . . through your mind.

G                 G                 C       D           G
