THE "NEVER" MEMORY

IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD INDERSTAND THE VOID WITH IN MY MIND IF ONLY I COULD DREDGE IT UP, OH HOW I'D LOVE TO FIND

THE ONE SMALL THING I'LL NEVER HAVE IS NOT SO SMALL TO ME IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T KNOW ABOUT, IT'S A NEVER MEMORY

OH HOW I'VE TRIED SO MANY TIMES, TO CONJURE IN MY MIND A GLIMPSE, A LOOK, A FEELING, A MEMORY OF SOME KIND

I GUESS THAT I WAS JUST TOO YOUNG TO EVER FIND THE START A MEMORY OF MY MOM AND DAD, BEFORE THEY WERE APART

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE SEEN, JUST ONCE, AS OTHER CHILDREN CAN MY PARENTS ONE, TOGETHER, LOVING WOMAN, LOVING MAN

I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM STEAL A KISS, OR HOLD EACH OTHER TIGHT I'VE NEVER WATCHED THEM SLIP AWAY, ALONE TO BED AT NIGHT

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN TOGETHER ONCE, I'M LIVING PROOF THEY SHARED I HOPE THAT I WAS MADE FROM LOVE, I HOPE I STARTED THERE

SO IF YOU'VE SEEN ONCE, IN YOUR LIFE, YOUR PARENTS LIVE AS ONE THANK GOD AND HOLD THAT MEMORY DEAR, AT LEAST YOU DO HAVE ONE

BUT AS FOR ME I'LL GO THROUGH TIME, WITH A VOID IN MY LIFE I'VE NEVER SEEN MY MOM AND DAD, TOGETHER, MAN AND WIFE

DON'T DARE FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF, NO NOT FOR ANYONE IT CAN'T BE FIXED, IT'S IN THE PAST, IT'S OVER AND IT'S DONE

JUST HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR MEMORIES, IT IS WHAT USED TO BE THANK GOD YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO SEARCH, FOR THAT NEVER MEMORY
