My favorite memory

(Richard D. Steadtler)
Once in life you meet someone who gives to you
The reason for that life and what some love can do
So now I'm armed for trouble times with all I need
For I have you my favorite memory.

You gave me something time can never take from me
A light that guides me when life's dark and I can't see
When I'm cold your hand to hold will comfort me
'Cause you'll be there my favorite memory.

--- Instrumental ---

Your lips were sweet your arms were warm I tasted life
You'll have my heart in all my dreams each night
Though something calls up yonder now and I must leave
You'll always be my favorite memory. So now don't cry it's not goodbye it's just so long
I'll take you with me where I travel from now on
'Cause when I close my eyes at night and go to sleep
You're lying there my favorite memory...
