I'D RATHER HAVE A MEMORY THAN A DREAM
>From the film "Lady Grey" (1980)
(Smith)


Ginger Alden (Film Soundtrack) - 1980





I'd rather have a memory than a dream
I'd rather look back on the good times I've seen
A memory can warm you when you're old and nights are cold
I'd rather have a memory than a dream
(Rather have a memory than a dream)

People tell me you'll break my heart and make me cry
But I wanta live just a little before I die
Teach me, I wanna love, light the fire and let it burn
I'd rather have a memory than a dream
(Rather have a memory than a dream)

(Instrumental Break)

I'd rather have a memory than a dream
To fanticise don't mean a thing to me
Ev'ry now and then I wanna look back at where I've been 
I'd rather have a memory than a dream
(Rather have a memory than a dream)
Yeah, I'd rather have a memory than a dream
(Rather have a memory than a dream)
