DUCHESS, HOW I REMEMBER Oh how I remember her And all the things we used to do Now I go through another heartache every time there's a new daybreak And she's no longer here beside me Oh Duchess, How I Remember You Turning back the pages in my mind scared of what I'm going to find viewing all these memories of her . How I wish she really knew how she touched me with her eyes. I can't believe she let go so easily. Now I feel like my life has become a fading light from a distant shore. Without turning she just closed the door and left me standing on the other side. Just standing outside, alone looking in. Oh Duchess, How I Remember You. I know this is a love I'll never win I've tried hard to swallow all my pride and now there's nothing left inside but an empty shell of memories of her There was a time when I waited for the darkness to push out the daylight And I've felt like a predator in the night when I've snuck around to her back door scheming of a way to capture her heart, but the shadows in the widow cut deep and I've dragged my wounded carcass home The pain of rejection tearing apart my mind The anguish of self pity numbing my soul. My world is gone and I won't even cry as I would rather lay my spirit down and die Oh Duchess, How I Remember You Bound up inside by all these fears Fighting hard to hold back the tears I can't say she ever really hurt me Because she would never let me near what was really deep inside of her And I don't know how to make her mine I know I'm going to hurt for a long time I did everything that I could think of to try and change her mind to love me. I know I'm going to miss her for a long time I will never be tempted by love again Never again will I ever endure this pain There was a time I thought our love was sweet now I know that it would have been better to never have loved her at all Oh Duchess How I Remember You. Oh Duchess How I Remember You Standing beside me so warm and sweet You were this poor boys greatest treat Oh Duchess How I Remember You Holding my hand and squeezing it tight When you were here my world was all right Even when the clouds were in the sky The sun would always shine bright Oh Duchess How I Remember You I remember when I was with you there was nothing I couldn't do. I felt we had the world to ourselves Oh Duchess How I Remember You |
