[Intro: AJ]
Memory's bliss

[Verse 1: Brian & AJ]
The candle plays the hourglass
The days go and all I do is
Think of you and wonder where you are at night
I remember everything
Every smile, and even all the reasons why you say
I pushed you out of my life

[Chorus: AJ]
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you

[Verse 2: Brian, AJ & All]
Destiny is everything
Reality's replaced you with
The biggest empty void I've ever had in life (ever had in life)
Bet you say that I don't care
I bet you say that I don't even think of you
But God knows how wrong you are
Baby, will you be there when the morning comes?
(Baby, will you be there?)
Just give me time (just give me time)
To fix my life (to fix my life baby)
Baby, will you be there when I open my eyes?
After all the time I've spent, wishing

[Chorus: AJ & Brian]
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss of you

[Verse 3: AJ & Brian]
Sadness that overwhelmed me
My mind flies and carelessly
Imagines that you're happy with your life right now
I guess that's just the way it goes
Forever's gone so now I must
Place you with all the things that I can never have

[Chorus: Brian & AJ]
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory's bliss
Baby you set me

[Outro: AJ & Brian]
So come on now
I know this much is true
I know this much is true

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
