Only A Memory Lyrics By The Smithereens

    my mind is filled with thoughts of you
    i think about the days of two
    i search the room but you’re not there
    your perfume lingers everywhere
    but it’s

    only a memory
    of what our love was going to be
    only a memory
    broken bits of you and me
    only a memory
    only a memory

    in a world of pain i have no peer
    you fade away and disappear
    and now i have to learn the game
    where no one wins or takes the blame
    but it’s

    only a memory
    of what our love was going to be
    only a memory
    now that we are history
    only a memory
    only a memory

    but it’s
    only a memory
    of what our love was going to be
    only a memory
    broken bits of you and me
    only a memory
    only a memory

    why should it matter if i cry
    i sit around and wonder why
    now i feel much too weak to live
    and i’ve got nothing left to give
    now it’s

    only a memory
    of what our love was going to be
    only a memory
    broken bits of you and me
    only a memory
    only a memory
    only a memory
    fade
