Memories Of You (1960)
Lonnie Johnson · with Elmer Snowden: Blues & Ballads [1990]
Wakin' skies, at sunrise, every sunset too,
Seem to be bringin' me, memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere, scenes that once we knew,
And they all, stir recall, memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those happy yester-years,
That has left a rosary of tears.
Your fair face beam, each night in my dream, in spite of all I do,
Everything, seem to bring, memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those happy yester-years,
That has left a rosary of tears, my darlin'.
Your fair face beam, each night in my dream, in spite of all I do,
Everything, seem to bring, memories of you.
Seem to be bringin' me, memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere, scenes that once we knew,
And they all, stir recall, memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those happy yester-years,
That has left a rosary of tears.
Your fair face beam, each night in my dream, in spite of all I do,
Everything, seem to bring, memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those happy yester-years,
That has left a rosary of tears, my darlin'.
Your fair face beam, each night in my dream, in spite of all I do,
Everything, seem to bring, memories of you.
