You once were the sun that brightened up my day 
 You once were the flame of love that showed me the way 
 Now that the time has passed 
 I still remember all the good things we had 

 You once were the wings with which my heart could fly 
 We once had a love so sweet but just let it go 
 There was no hurt or pain 
 We just reached a point and then we let it drift away 

 Chorus 

 You can't take such sweet memories away 
 They will always be 
 Forever in my mind for all time 
 And I know the feelin's just as strong 
 'Cos I can see it in your eyes 
 To recreate what happened long ago 
 Wouldn't be so wise 
 Just keep the flame alive in your mind 
 That's where it should stay with us 
 Forever I'll be always on your mind 

 I once was the love on which you could depend 
 We once had a love we thought would never end 
 Now after all the years 
 I look back with joy and happiness 
 There's no need for tears
