Duty to love
I promised forever
and forever I will
I promised a memory
oh so long ago
we met in the sunlight
and began a new day
together so happy
forever to be
now just a memory
so cherished and dear
in the fading memories
through so many years
day faded into the twilight
and into nighttime so dark
and into a morning
so cloudy and gray
gone was the sunlight
and so was the joy
never returning
just memory remains
lost in the nighttime
changed forever to be
I promised a memory
and just memory remains
I promised forever
and forever I will
I promised a memory
oh so long ago
