Not Enough.

This is a reworked version of a song I wrote a year or so ago.

__________________
I remember walking down that road
Holding hands in winter's cold
And dancing at the sight of snow
You held me tight like it was your life
Or maybe the temperature was too low, I don't know
But you were frozen to my coat

Don't you remember laying on your floor
Hardly touching for summer's torch, when you
rolled on me and said:
Why don't you kiss me like you did back when
I was fifteen and we had just began?
Oh it was something from a magazine

There were times that we hid our love
Times it shone like the moon above
And there were days it would outshine the sun
Then you told me that you had to go
You tried to explain, guess I still don't know
Something about missing your boat


I've been lonely since you left my side
But it will pass like your boat in the tide
With time you will fade from my mind
And someday I'll find mine

Now all that I've got are the memories we shared
But that's not enough - No, they don't compare
To your lips on mine or my hands thru your hair
No, that's not enough - I wish you were here


Will you think of me?
When it's late and you can't sleep?
Cos I'll be awake, dreaming of you
