About This Track

'Memories' by Van Morrison is a 1990 track from 'Enlightenment ' that dwells on absence and persistence, returning again and again to the idea that “All I have is memories”. With a mix of quiet regret and tenderness, it measures the passing hours by how those recollections linger into twilight and the small hours, right up to just before dawn. It is, in other words, an intimate inventory of a love that has left, but whose trace will not.

"Memories" is a track by Van Morrison, from the album Enlightenment , released 1st October 1990. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Memories

[Verse 1]

Memories

All I have is memories

All I have is memories

Memories of you

[Verse 2]

Now you're gone

They linger on, these memories

All these precious memories

Memories of you

[Bridge]

How they linger in the twilight

In the morning in the small hours

Just before dawn

[Verse 3]

Memories

Of summer days so long ago

Well, people in the places that we used to know

Oh, those memories

[Accordion Solo]

[Bridge]

How they linger in the twilight

And in the wee small hours

Sometime just before the dawn

[Verse 4]

Oh, those memories

Oh, happy times, those memories

All I have now is memories

Memories of you

[Verse 5]

Oh, memories

All those precious memories

All I have is memories

Memories of you

[Outro]

Memories of you

Memories of you (Memories of you)

Oh, those memories of you (Memories of you)

Oh, those memories of you (Memories of you)

Oh, lots of memories of you (Memories of you)

Oh, memories of (Memories of you)

Oh, memories (Memories of you)

Oh, memories (Memories of you)

Oh
