I remember you

If that smile,
That smile within your eyes
Were frozen for a moment
I'd gaze on it forever.
If that glance, that look of sad surprise
Were captured for a moment
We might have stayed together.

But now you've gone away
And who's to say it ever happened.
I am nothing but a memory
To remember you by.

Now i know that flame within your heart
Could vanish so completely
You are lost to me forever.

If i'd known that i'd be left alone
That passion must be cherished
I have clung to you forever.
You may say i threw it all away
But no one ever told me
Our passion was going to die.

Not a word, not a look
Not a sound, not a sigh
What can i remember you by?
