Memories of You
Goodman Group Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking skies, at sunrise
Every sunset too
Seems to be, bringing me
Memories of you

Here and there, every where
Scenes that we once knew
And they all, just recall

Memories of you

(Oh) How I wish I could forget those, (those) happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears

Your face beams,in my dreams
(In) Spite of all (that) I do

(And) Everything,seems to bring
Memories of you
