Mark erelli i always return lyrics

(Mark Erelli)



It's no secret, no mystery

How you once loved me so

Now you're part of my history

That was a long time ago

You'd think I'd have learned

But it's hopeless you see

I always return to your memory



You leaned on my shoulder

You whispered my name

Now the fire only smolders

Only ashes remain

But I still feel it burn

I can still feel the heat

I always return to your memory



I just can't explain

How the sound of you name

Rings in my ears all the time

And try as I may to run farther away

The closer you follow behind



I wish I'd never met you

But I dream of you still

Though I pray I'll forget you

I don't believe I ever will

You're the page I can't turn

But I can't bear to read

I always return to your memory



Guess I'll always return
