Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Lingering Memories
Lyrics for Album: She'll Be Hanging 'Round Somewhere [Kapp] [1970]



(Damon Black)



If mem'ries were gathered like flowers

Each day I would pick a bouquet

To last through these long lonely hours

But mem'ries aren't gathered that way.



For mem'ries don't grow like the roses

When kissed by the sunshine and dew

And mem'ries aren't carefully chosen

They've bloomed from the love that once grew.



There's mem'ries as sweet as the roses

And sad as the violets of blue

But the lingering, lingering mem'ries

Are the mem'ries that I have of you.



--- Instrumental ---



If mem'ries would wither like flowers

Fall to the earth and decay

Each day I'll pray for the showers

To wash all my mem'ries away.



There's mem'ries as sweet as the roses

And sad as the violets of blue

But the lingering, lingering mem'ries

Are the mem'ries that I have of you.



But the lingering, lingering mem'ries

Are the mem'ries that I have of you...
