Lyrics
[verse]
Some faces fade before the day is through,
But mine stays painted every time I think of you.
There's something lasting in the way you smile,
A memory that lingers, mile after mile.
[chorus]
Etched in my memory, that's just what you'll be,
Carved inside forever like a name upon a tree.
Time can take the seasons, take the years away,
But what we had won't ever fade to gray.
[verse]
I've walked through rooms that once were full of light,
And felt you near me even on the quiet nights.
No photograph could hold what I recall,
The way you laughed, the way you gave me all.
[chorus]
Etched in my memory, that's just what you'll be,
Carved inside forever like a name upon a tree.
Time can take the seasons, take the years away,
But what we had won't ever fade to gray.
[bridge]
Strings are soft as candlelight tonight,
Carrying your memory into every light.
However far the road, however long the climb,
You stay etched in my memory through all of time.
[chorus]
Etched in my memory, that's just what you'll be,
Carved inside forever like a name upon a tree.
Time can take the seasons, take the years away,
But what we had won't ever fade to gray.
