Only a Memory (“Roughs” 12/6/87 – unfinished lyrics) Songtext
von 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 (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
Only a memory (Only a memory)
A memory, memory, memory
