Memories of you
They linger on, these memories
Memories of you
In the morning in the small hours
Memories
People in the places
Oh those memories
How they linger in the twilight
Sometime just before the dawn
Oh happy times those memories
Memories of you
Oh memories
All those precious memories
All I have is memories
Memories of you
