Lyrics
Memory's a fickle thing
It plays tricks of what you think
Happened in the past
From the moment
That I woke up this morning
Knew it was going to be my day
Sunshine streaming through the window
And not a cloud in the sky
Memories of us being together
Memories of us in the past
Memories of how we used to be
Are memories that now can stop
Took me a walk to the river
To the swimming hole
By the big bend
Dove in and splashed in the water
And washed your scent off my skin
Memories of us being together
Memories of us in the past
Memories of how we used to be
Are memories that now can stop
Came home had me some breakfast
Threw sticks played with the dog
Taught him to sit up and beg me
Like you once had me do
Memories of us being together
Memories of us in the past
Memories of how we used to be
Are memories that now can stop
Felt so good bought the local paper
Read about the latest fashion trends,
Made my smile even wider
Just how good can it get
Memories of us being together
Memories of us in the past
Memories of how we used to be
Are memories that now can stop
