Memories Of You 1930

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 19 Dec 2002

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.
Tho' you've gone, and love was in vain,
all around me you still remain,
wonder why fate should be so unkind:

Waking skies at sunrise,
ev'ry sunset too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, ev'rywhere,
scenes that we once knew,
and they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears,
they have left a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams,
spite of all I do,
ev'rything seems to bring
Memories of you.

Waking skies at sunrise,
ev'ry sunset too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, ev'rywhere,
scenes that we once knew,
and they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears,
they have left a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams,
spite of all I do,
ev'rything seems to bring
Memories of you.

Tho' for years we've been far apart,
time heals ev'rything but my heart,
that still aches for you the same old way.
Seems I can't escape from the past,
and your spell keeps holding me fast,
each tomorrow is like yesterday:

Waking skies at sunrise,
ev'ry sunset too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, ev'rywhere,
scenes that we once knew,
and they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears,
they have left a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams,
spite of all I do,
ev'rything seems to bring
Memories of you.

Waking skies at sunrise,
ev'ry sunset too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, ev'rywhere,
scenes that we once knew,
and they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears,
they have left a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams,
spite of all I do,
ev'rything seems to bring
Memories of you.
