Borrowing Memories
Music by: Diana Robinson
Lyrics by: Diana Robinson
I read stories in the magazines
Happy couples, happy families
Pretty pictures play inside my head
Why can't these memories be mine instead?
Instead I end up wondering
Will I live my life inside a dream?
Can I make new memories on my own
Or will time erase the hurt I've known?
Chorus
So I'm borrowing memories
To try to get me through
Yes, I'm borrowing memories so I can
Forget the ones I made with you
So I can forget the ones I made with you
Summer nights and late night pillow fights
Long walks along the beach
Singing out loud with the radio
Making memories to keep
Sunday drives to some place far away
Hiking miles around a lake
Holding hands and whis'pring soft goodbyes
These are memories I want to make
In a small Parisian restaurant
As the light begins to fade
I see love reflected in your eyes
And I start to feel afraid
Is this real or did I borrow this
To make everything seem right?
When my heart starts to reminsce
Will it tell me it's alright?
