Once in a 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 troubled 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
When I'm cold, a hand to hold will comfort me
'Cause you'll be there, my favorite memory

Your lips were sweet, your arms were warm, I tasted life
You'll have my heart in all my dreams each night
Though something calls out yonder now, and I must leave
You'll always be my favorite memory

So now, don't cry, it's not goodbye, it's just so long
I'll take you with me where I travel from now on
'Cause when I close my eyes at night and go to sleep
You're lying there, my favorite memory
