Lyrics
POSES A QUESTION
I DON?T WANNA BE A MEMORY COUNTRY
VERSE:
You were the one who kept saying you loved me like nobody else ever could
And someday I?d place a ring on your finger, you?d let me today if I would
You worked overtime convincing my mind that dreams really could come true
Now you?re backing up as fast as you can like you swore you?d never do
CHORUS:
I DON?T WANNA BE A MEMORY in the back of your mind
Mixed in with old friends you recall now and then when you find the time
But if I?ve got a be a memory then I wanna be
The reason you cry and ask yourself why you?re not here with me
VERSE:
Profound confusion is all that I?m feelin?, just how could you do this to me?
You took me places I?d only imagined then without a word walked away
But I?ll tell you one thing, somewhere and and someday I?ll be what you?re looking for
And you?re gonna miss me like you?ve never missed anybody else before
BRIDGE:
And I don?t know why the fire went out
But I?m gonna fan the flame
And just when you think you?ve forgotten me
I?ll be on your mind again
CHORUS:
I DON?T WANNA BE A MEMORY in the back of your mind
A part of your past that just didn?t last, forgotten in time
But if I?ve gotta be a memory then I wanna shine
Like Las Vegas lights that dazzle your eyes when I?m on your mind
Like Las Vegas lights that dazzle your eyes when I?m on your mind
I DON?T WANNA BE A MEMORY
