Before You Turn To A Memory





I saw you staring out the window today


As the trees turned white from the snow



Yeah, I recognize the signs, she's back on your mind
That tear tells me all I need to know ......Now





(Chorus)

Before you turn to a memory turn to me


Let me prove my love is all you really need


And before you run to familiar ground


Give us a chance to turn it around


Before you turn to a memory


Turn to me






As you slowly wiped the tear from your eye


I could read every thought that crossed your mind


They were leading you down a road and I know where it goes


It ends with your memory left behind.....So



(Repeat Chorus)




Bridge:


And before you take that final step


And become a memory I can't forget.....Now






(Repeat Chorus)
