Slow Dancing With Your Memory

There's a picture of you beside my bed, A thousand words I never got to say. I hear your laughter when the room gets quiet, Then morning comes and takes it all away. I still remember how you held my hand, Like you were never gonna let me go. Funny how a heart can understand What the mind keeps telling it to let go. And every midnight brings me back, To every moment that we had. I know you're gone, but somehow I Still feel you when I close my eyes. I'm slow dancing with your memory tonight, Moving through the shadows underneath the light. Your photograph is watching from the wall, And for a moment, I forget you left at all. I'm slow dancing with your memory again, Trying to pretend that we're still more than friends. If loving you is all that I can do, I'll spend another night slow dancing with you. Your perfume still lives inside the room, A little ghost I can't explain away. I changed the sheets, I moved the furniture, But every corner still remembers your name. I wonder if you ever miss me too, Or if I'm just a chapter you forgot. I wish I knew the secret to undo The way your love still owns my heart. And every song we used to love Still sounds like us when it comes on. I tell myself I'm moving on, Then suddenly you're in my arms. I'm slow dancing with your memory tonight, Moving through the shadows underneath the light. Your photograph is watching from the wall, And for a moment, I forget you left at all. I'm slow dancing with your memory again, Trying to pretend that we're still more than friends. If loving you is all that I can do, I'll spend another night slow dancing with you. Maybe someday I'll wake up And your name won't hurt like this. Maybe I'll find another love, Maybe I'll forget your kiss. But tonight the music's playing low, And there's nowhere else I'd rather go. So I'll hold the air where you used to be, And let your memory dance with me. I'm slow dancing with your memory tonight, One last time beneath these fading lights. Even though you're somewhere far away, My heart still brings you back to me this way. I'm slow dancing with your memory again, Loving someone I can never hold again. When the music fades and morning starts to show, I'll let you go... But tonight, I don't wanna let you go.
