Memories of You Lyrics

Why can't I forget like I should?
Heaven knows I would if I could
But I just can't keep you off my mind

Though you're gone, I have to explain
All around me you still remain
Wonder why fate should be so unkind?

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

Here and there, everywhere
Scenes that we once knew
And they all just recall
Memories of you

How I wish I could forget
Those happy yesteryears
That have left
A rosary of tears

Your face beams in my dreams
Spite of all I do
Everything seems to bring
Memories of you
Those memories of you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
