George Gordy - Memories lyrics

[Chorus] Memories, precious memories Memories, precious memories Memories, precious memories Memories, precious memories [Verse 1] I recall a time as we used to sit for hours Holding hands, I used to buy you flowers With our hearts together Nothing mattered I remember dreams I had and plans we made Oh I'd grow in love girl to cascade Oh but the dreams are all shattered [Pre-Chorus] What can I do now that your love has left my life My dreams are cut to shreds by jealous, hateful lies The knife was made of lies and schemes that we knew so well To turn our glowing love into a cold and empty shell [Chorus] Leaving me with memories, girl, and harmony Memories, oh, how love ought to be Oh, precious memories Ooh baby, precious memories [Verse 2] I was a fool, I know Honey and don't it show? It can't help but shine Here is a grown man crying Mixed up in confusion So badly disillusioned This precious love I've had Slipped away so fast [Pre-Chorus] Now the plan is gone and there's a reasonable substitute I just saw myself crying, it didn't look too cute I found a single blood you dropped and you hate to part I used it to press my tears and held it to my heart [Chorus] It brought back memories Reminding me how love used to be Memories, precious memories Memories, precious memories Memories, precious memories Memories, precious memories
