(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Melba Montgomery/Jerry Salley)

Pretending that it's not over
Would be such a foolish thing to do

But I'm just a fool in love with you
When will this end,I need to know
If you're gonna leave why don't you go
So I can start leaving you behind,cause

You're not a memeory yet
Someone I can forget
You're still here in my heart
Not just an occasional thought in my head
Right now I'm holding on
To something I know is gone
Wish I could lay it to rest
But you're not a memory yet

Give me the satisfaction
Of watching you walking out the door
If you don't love me anymore
If you were a memeory time would fade
The past just a little more each day
'Til you hardly ever cross my mind (but)

You're not a memeory yet
Someone I can forget
You're still here in my heart
Not just an occasional thought in my head
Right now I'm holding on
To something I know is gone
Wish I could lay it to rest
But you're not a memory yet
