Lyrics
It's just not what one would hope to enshrine.
Feelings and memories steadfastly entwine.
The feeling you get from a memory remains.
And emotions recall those picturesque days.
But now my memories of her, they fade to black. And I just can't get that feeling back.
Chorus:
No memories of Angel in my mind; they're becoming too hazy, and hard to find.
The pictures from the wall, my emotions fall;
Want no memories of Angel here at all.
It could have been good.
It could have been right.
Gazing up to the stars on a heavenly night.
But she kept her distance day by day.
And she just couldn't seem to meet me half way.
Now my emotions for her, they fade with time and any thoughts of her are falling right behind.
(Chorus)
And now my memories of her, they fade to black. And I just can't get that feeling back.
(Chorus)
