Memories Are Made Of This
Dean Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this
Don't forget a small moon beam
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 generously with love
One man, one wife, one love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this
