Analysis of The Mem'ry Of Your Name
These memories of me and you
Are all I need, to see me through
And help me live, from day to day
Since the day, you went away
You live on, here in my dreams
So much alive, or so it seems
Love survives, and still remains
Beside the mem'ry of your name
I still remember Summer skies
Love's reflection in your eyes
When we loved, on silver sand
And watched the sunrise hand in hand
When I sleep, and dream awhile
I see the beauty of your smile
I will always wonder why
We ever had to say goodby
You live on, here in my dreams
So much alive, or so it seems
Love survives, and still remains
Beside the mem'ry of your name
