Story Behind The Song

What if...NOT wish it was

Lyrics

Here's to the Memory
© 2005 Jonathan Powell

I've tried forgetting since you went away
But you're still on my mind
I still remember everything you said to me
It only makes things worse with time

I read the letters that you never meant to send
I wrote you songs we'll never sing

Here's to the Memory of what might have been
Here's to the pain that made me strong
As time goes by
I know that I will find a way to say goodbye
But for now...
Here's to the Memory

Seems like forever - Feels like yesterday
Still I don't know why
I could never hate you or bring myself to blame you
No matter how hard I might try

What I need tonight is comfort from a friend
We'll raise another helping hand

Here's to the memory of what might have been
Here's to the pain that made me strong
Here's to life, love & loss
All that's really left of us is a faded memory of...

Late nights, moonlight & dreaming
The fighting and tears that made you leave

Here's to the memory of what might have been
Here's to the pain that made me strong
Here's to all that's left to come
And everything we left undone
But most of all...
Here's to the memory
