He was a soldier, she'd been an actress
He was a gambler, their love was matchless
He stole her away just for a wager
Their's was a passion few ever savour

Cherish the memory

She was a beauty, he the great hero
And all the press knew this couple was in danger
Injured in battle she nursed his wounds
She wrote her heart out, he'd leave her soon

Cherish the memory
Cherish the memory

She lived with finger on a pulse that always ticks
She must have died with the whisper of his name upon her lips
The only thing she could never forgive
Was that their love was not allowed to live

Cherish the memory

Long summer hours spent deep in love
Travelling oceans, dark clouds above
Their storm would break out sooner or later
Their's was a romance falling from favour

Cherish the memory

Way past the end, she was his true love
And no false friend
Way past the end, she wrote her heart out
No false friend
