You're with me Till the bitter end What we had transcends This experience Too painful to Talk about So I'll hold it in Til my heart can mend And be brave Enough to love again A place in time Still belongs to us Stays preserved In my mind In the memories There is solace Never too far away I won't let time erase One bit of yesterday Cause I have learned that Nobody can take your place Though we can never be I'll keep you close to me When I remember Glittering lights Incandescent eyes Still preserved In my mind In the memories I'll find solace Never too far away I won't let time erase One bit of yesterday And I have learned that Nobody can take your place Though we can never be I'll keep you close to me And I'll remember A place in time Still belongs to us Stays preserved In my mind In the memories There is solace Never too far away I won't let time erase One bit of yesterday Cause I have learned that Nobody can take your place And though we can never be I'll always think of You and me Always remember Love You're never too far
