Memories 1903

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Sep 2005

Tonight I sit and dream, dear,
of days of long ago.
I see a maid beside me
in the dying embers glow.
A sweet face haunts me
in my dreams.
Ah! joyous thoughts are these.
Until I wake and find, dear,
they are only memories.

Memories, memories,
what would life be without memories.
We think of the joys of our youth
that have flown,
we think of the pleasures and pain
we have known.
Memories, memories,
time cannot banish our memories,
altho' they may bring
many tears and grief,
still we cherish these memories.

I seem to see you smile, dear,
and gaze into your eyes.
I feel your presence near me,
the earth seems a paradise.
A lovers song is wafted softly
on the evening breeze.
All seems so real and yet I know,
they are only memories.

Memories, memories,
what would life be without memories.
We think of the joys of our youth
that have flown,
we think of the pleasures and pain
we have known.
Memories, memories,
time cannot banish our memories,
altho' they may bring
many tears and grief,
still we cherish these memories.
