MEMORY THAT TIME CANNOT ERASE, A
(Carson Robison)


Vernon Dalhart (with Carson Robison) - 1928





(Whistling)

As the path of life leads me onward
And the weary hours turn to years
I try to gorget all my sorrow
I try not to shed bitter tears

But mem'ries around me come stealing
Those mem'ries of one broken vow
And though we are parted forever
I just can't forget you somehow

There is still a mem'ry that time cannot erase
Your kind and lovin' face, no one can take your place
Though we're far apart, the love within my heart
Still lives in the same old way

Years have gone by, still I can't forget
Your gentle voice, I seem to hear it yet
There is still a mem'ry that time cannot erase
Of wonderful days that are gone

(Whistling)

There is still a mem'ry that time cannot erase
Your kind and lovin' face, no one can take your place
Though we're far apart, the love within my heart
Still lives in the same old way

Years have gone by, still I can't forget
Your gentle voice, I seem to hear it yet
There is still a mem'ry that time cannot erase
Of wonderful days that are gone
