I Kiss Your Memory (But Not Goodbye)

A Song by Lita Gillies@Lita Gillies 2007
(In memory of John Cummins - Dedicated to Di Cummins)

I still hear your voice echo through my mind
and I still walk the path we chose
I still hear your feet treading in my stride
but I walk the path alone

Your sons are men, and yet too young
to loose their father so
through their lives they'll hear your drum
in the heart beat that you showed

So I kiss your memory, but not goodbye
For in my dreams we always meet
On the sandy shore we'll live our sighs
on Sorrento Back Beach

I'll imagine your only jailed
protests will set free you yet
we'll live some more, before we're frail
for there's more fight in us yet

And I kiss your memory, but not goodbye
For in my dreams we always meet
On the sandy shore we'll live our sighs
on Sorrento Back Beach

Your friends still tell your tales my love
they will never let you go
the man you were, inspires them all
and your legend slowly grows

While I kiss your memory, but not goodbye
For in my dreams we always meet
On the sandy shore we'll live our sighs
on Sorrento Back Beach

And I kiss your memory, but not goodbye
For in my dreams we always meet
On the sandy shore we'll live our sighs
on Sorrento Back Beach

And we kiss your memory, but not goodbye
