Lyrics

WHEN MY LOVE FOR YOU IS JUST A MEMORY

Colored crayons, unicorns, and cartoons on TV
Ring around the rosy all fall down
Dinosaurs and puppy dogs and learning ABCs
Picture books with laughing circus clowns
These things will remind you of the time you spent with me
When my love for you is just a memory

When you get older, I'll teach you to play guitar
Like I did with your Daddy years ago
I'll show you how to throw a ball and find the northern star
And lots of other stuff that you should know
These things will be part of you like they are part of me
When my love for you is just a memory

Someday these memories will fade
And life will take you far away
But I am learning as I watch you grow
The hardest part of love is letting go

There will come a time when you won't see me around
But I'll be right behind you like your shadow on the ground
And sometimes when you're all alone you'll smile and think of me
When my love for you is just a memory

Yes someday when you're dreaming
You will dream a dream of me
When my love for you is just a memory
When my love for you is just a memory
