Time Can’t Take Your Memory Away

I've often heard it spoken
Ain't it funny how time changes everything
We rearrange priorities, adjust to circumstances life may bring
I'm told time and again I'll someday put my life together with you gone
But I still start my days by missing you
And end them wishing you'll come back home

And the years roll by, and the tears I've cried
Could flood the Mississippi but can't wash away your memory
And the seasons change but my love remains the same as yesterday
Time can't take your memory away

I get some satisfaction knowing I'm the one who caught this thief called time
It steals what lies ahead of me yet I hold onto what I left behind
Time stole away my youth and some time I think it took my sanity
But here I am still clinging to the one thing time can't take away from me

And the years roll by, and the tears I've cried
Could flood the Mississippi but can't wash away your memory
And the seasons change but my love remains the same as yesterday
Time can't take your memory away
