SUPPLICATION

Why can't I keep the memory,
The warm sweet memory.
Why can't I keep the memory
And not have all the pain?

I need to keep the memory,
The sweet soft memory
Of life the way it used to be.
I need to keep the memory
But I can't stand the pain. 

Please let me keep the memory,
The soft warm memory
Of life the way it used to be,
Of love when it was good or me.
Please let me keep the memory
But take away the pain.

Please take away the pain.
