1. I keep your [F] smile inside my [F] memories
Our little [F] steps slowly drifted [C7] apart
Time keeps [C7] moving without waiting [C7] promises
Simple [C7] love grew quietly without [F] sound
2. Now not soft [F] and whisper your sweet [F] name
I learn to [F] stay strong without [F7] holding [Bb] hands
Old photos [C7] speak more honestly [C7] today
About [C7] feelings that once chose to [F] stay
Chorus :
That memo - [F] ry lives silently inside my [Bb] heart
Even [F] though the story has [F] ended
That memo - [C7] ry returns when I'm [C7] alone
Teaching [F] me the meaning [C7] of lost [F] love
3. I smile [F] remembering all our [F] stories
No anger left [F] only gentle [C7] longing
Old [C7] love never needs to [C7] return
It lives [C7] quietly as [F] memory
(Outro)
If time [Dm] allows us to [Bb] meet again
I will [F] still smile without [C7] hope
(Return Chorus)
