Lyrics

Memories Are That Way

[Verse 1]

Memories take you back

To the good times

When it's over

And the sad times disappear

[Chorus]

Memories are that way

Memories are that way

[Verse 2]

Memories tell you that

All the best times

In your lifetime

Are the times of yesteryear

[Chorus]

Memories are that way, memories are that way

Memories are that way, memories are that way

[Bridge]

Memories are the words to love songs

Sung throughout the years

Memories of the heard love songs

Sung through smiles and tears

[Verse 3]

Memories take you back

To the lean times

In between times

And the times when you knew fear

[Chorus]

Memories are that way, memories are that way
