Pat DiNizio:
“Only A Memory” was written during a soundcheck in Madrid during the “Especially” European tour in January of 1987. The hook or chorus to the song has an interesting chord structure, one that gives the illusion that the chords are climbing and changing keys, but they’re not, everything...
My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room but you're not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
In a world of pain I have no peer
You fade away and disappear
And now I have to learn the game
Where no one wins or takes the blame
But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Now that we are history
Only a memory
Only a memory
But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
Why should it matter if I cry
I sit around and wonder why
Now I feel much too weak to live
And I've got nothing left to give
Now it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
Only a memory
