First time we met is a favorite memory of mine They say time changes all it pertains to But your memory is stronger than time I guess everything does change except what you choose to recall There's a million good daydreams to dream on But baby, you are my favorite memory of all Like the night we made love in the hallway And slept all night long on the floor Like the winter we spent on Lake Shasta alone and closer than ever before And I remember that London vacation It was you made the whole thing a ball There's a million good times I could dwell on But baby, you are my favorite memory of all First time we met is a favorite memory of mine They say time changes all it pertains to But your memory is stronger than time I guess everything does change except what you choose to recall There's a million good daydreams to dream on But baby, you are my favorite memory of all
