Memories Are Made of This
Jim Reeves · Love Songs [BMG Heritage] [2004]
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add another night of bliss
One girl, one boy; some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this.
Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine; two sips of wine
Memories are made of this.
Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savor.
With His blessings from above
Serve it gen'rously with love
One man, one wife; one love thru life
Sweet memories are made of this.
Memories are made of this...
