Sweet Memories
The Schmidts & First Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I forget you now?
I could never shake you off
I will remember the sweet memories
I will think of you, everyday
But I'm moving on, making new memories
I have sweet memories
Memories of my love with you
Of where we went together
Of our relationship, oh so nice
Love without dissimulation
No concealing, no pretense, no secrets
We drove around in the car
I sat by you I was your copilot
So many times
Listening to you, talking and laughing
I went everywhere with you, oh baby
It was so cozy just you and me
How can I forget you now?
I could never shake you off
I will remember the sweet memories
I will think of you, everyday
But I'm moving on, making new memories
Sweet memories… mmm
Making new memories… oooh
Sweet memories
Making new memories
I count not myself
To have apprehended
But this one thing I do
Forgetting those things which are behind me
And reaching forth unto those things which are before me, mmm oh yeah
Oh the sweet memories
We ate together in so many places, ooh!
Breakfast, lunches, and dinners
I ate from your plate and you ate from mine
We were so free and so happy together
Pleasant evenings spent with you
When I see the pictures
Of the times we were together
So excited with each other
I can't believe it's now all over
I'm all alone with my memories
Yes they are still sweet memories
Ooooh yeah
So how can I forget you now?
I could never shake you off
I will remember the sweet memories
I will think of you, everyday
But I'm moving on, making new memories
How can I forget you now?
I could never shake you off
I will remember the sweet memories
I will think of you, everyday
But I'm moving on, making new memories (Sweet memories)
How can I forget you now?
I could never shake you off
I will remember the sweet memories




I will think of you, everyday
But I'm moving on, making new memories
