Memoriam
The cuts on my grandfather's ring are larger now
From the chain you wore
From the chain you bore
New marks to hold
The memoriam of our love
He gave it to his girl when they started going steady
It was temporary
Until their wedding
When her finger would hold
The memoriam of their love
So, don't give it back, I don't want it
You're the only one whose name is on it
I can tell you're holding on
I can tell you're holding on to something
And it wouldn't be right if I would wear it
It already has your wear and tear
Keep my heart while you're at it
It doesn't matter if you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
The jacket you gave back, it sure smells sweeter now
But, somehow a rose is sour
When I wear it
I can not go out cause it is our
Memoriam of our love
So, don't give it back, I don't want it
You're the only one whose name is on it
I can tell you're holding on
I can tell you're holding on to something
And it wouldn't be right if I would wear it
It already has your wear and tear
Keep my heart while you're at it
It doesn't matter if you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
If you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
So, don't give it back, I don't want it
You're the only one whose name is on it
I can tell you're holding on
I can tell you're holding on to something
And it wouldn't be right if I would wear it
It already has your wear and tear
Keep my heart while you're at it
It doesn't matter if you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
From the chain you wore
From the chain you bore
New marks to hold
The memoriam of our love
He gave it to his girl when they started going steady
It was temporary
Until their wedding
When her finger would hold
The memoriam of their love
So, don't give it back, I don't want it
You're the only one whose name is on it
I can tell you're holding on
I can tell you're holding on to something
And it wouldn't be right if I would wear it
It already has your wear and tear
Keep my heart while you're at it
It doesn't matter if you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
The jacket you gave back, it sure smells sweeter now
But, somehow a rose is sour
When I wear it
I can not go out cause it is our
Memoriam of our love
So, don't give it back, I don't want it
You're the only one whose name is on it
I can tell you're holding on
I can tell you're holding on to something
And it wouldn't be right if I would wear it
It already has your wear and tear
Keep my heart while you're at it
It doesn't matter if you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
If you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
So, don't give it back, I don't want it
You're the only one whose name is on it
I can tell you're holding on
I can tell you're holding on to something
And it wouldn't be right if I would wear it
It already has your wear and tear
Keep my heart while you're at it
It doesn't matter if you're staying or leaving
I gave it for the keeping
