Memories Lyrics

He was the congregation's vagrant With an unrequited love When your passion's exaltation Then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family And the last to be let go And they decided they would try And make it on their own
Oh memories, where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away
Where'd you go? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When July became December Their affection fought the cold But they couldn't quite remember What inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing Like 'A Streetcar Named Desire' They were fighting for their love That started growing tired
Oh memories, where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Don't fade away
And the money lost momentum And the bills were pilin' high Then the smile had finally faded From the apple of their eye
And they were young and independent And they thought they had it planned Should've known right from the start You can't predict the end
Oh, memories, where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away
Oh memories, where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Don't fade away
