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
