MEMORIES LEFT BEHIND

If I should ever lose you
Would I also lose my mind
Could I ever learn to live with
Just mem'ries left behind

The memory of your cheek on mine
The love light in your eyes
The nights of love together
Beneath the star-filled skies

If I should ever lose you
Could I learn to breathe again
Could I wake up every morning
Without thinking back to "when"

Like, when you used to love me
And how you filled my heart
Could I learn to love again
No, I couldn't even start

You are the very breath of life
No other could I find
If I should ever lose you
With just mem'ries left behind.
