Memories Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Memories, precious memories
Memories, precious memories
Memories, precious memories
Memories, precious memories

I recall the times 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, plans we made
For I grew in love girl, but you cascade
Oh, but the dreams were all shattered

What can I do now that your love is not my life?
My dreams were cut to shreds by a jealous hateful knife
The knife was made of lies and schemes that were used so well
To turn our glowing love into a cold and empty shell


Leaving me with memories, girl, that haunted me
Memories of how love ought to be
Oh, precious memories
Oh baby, precious memories

Woo, I was a fool I know
Honey, don′t it show?
It can't help but shine
Here is a grown man cryin′
Mixed up in confusion
So bad and disillusioned
Because the love I've had
Slipped away so bad

Oh Oh, now the plan is gone and there's a reasoned substitute
I just saw myself cryin′, it didn′t look too cute
I found a single glove you dropped in your haste to part
I used it to brush my tears and held it to my heart.


Brought back memories, Woah, it's torn me
′Minding me how love used to be
Memories, precious memories
Memories, precious memories
Memories, precious memories
Memories, precious memories
