Starin' in the fire on a cold December night I swear I see your face in the blue ember light I know you'd be here with me If I'd only done you right But it's just me and an old flame Alone in the dark just like this torch I carry burnin' in my heart It's never gone out Through the years we've been apart That's the bad thing about a good memory It won't let you forget no it won't set you free It's just haunts you eternally That's the bad thing about a good, a good memory I recall each moment like it was yesterday Your sweet and gentle smile, you're easy going way God, how I regret the things I didn't say But the ones I did never slip my mind I told you that I'd love you until the end of time I thought that it would fade But it's showing no sign
