Memories of a sunshine smile

She’s an Audrey-Hepburn-movie child

I can’t love you like she used to

Her touch sends shivers down your spine

She’s the August sun on a winter night

I can’t love you like she used to

Mm

I don’t shine brighter than the stars in your sky

And I didn’t hang the moon

I wonder when the songs you write will be about me

I know I’m not your muse

Ooh, ooh

But you were never mine to lose

You’re still searching for her eyes

In every gaze you’ve met tonight

I can’t love you like she used to

Mm

I don’t shine brighter than the stars in your sky

And I didn’t hang the moon

I wonder when the songs you write will be about me

I know I’m not your muse

Ooh, ooh

But you were never mine to lose

She promised you she’d never leave

Another lie that you believed

I’ll love you better than she used to

You falter when you hear her name

You wish her well, all the same

I’ll love you better than she used to

I don’t shine brighter than the stars in your sky

And I didn’t hang the moon

I wonder when the songs you write will be about me

I know I’m not your muse

Ooh, ooh

But you were never mine to lose

Oh, oh

Ooh, ooh

But you were never mine to lose
