Once in life you meet someone who gives to you The reason for that life and what some love can do So now I'm armed for trouble times with all I need For I have you my favorite memory You gave me something time can never take from me A light that guides me when life's dark and I can't see No something calls out yonder now and I must leave You'll always be my favorite memory [ guitar ] Now don't you cry it's not goodbye it's just so long I'll take you with me where I'll travel from now on Cause when I close my eyes at night and go to sleep You're lying there my favorite memory You're lying there my favorite memory
