Lyrics

  1. The night is filled with shadow shapes
    They seem to call us on
    They form the faces that we knew
    In the days that long have gone
    They tell us that our memories
    Are empty things and bare
    But mine are filled with glory, dear
    While you are here to care

Refrain:
Mem’ries, mem’ries, mem’ries of you
Dear heart, you loved me so
Back through the years
Smiles through the tears
Mem’ries come and go
Hold me, closer, kiss me again
And while the firelight plays
Tell me you love me dear
Now as then
Golden memory days

  1. Though years may pass and youth may fade
    Though all the world grow cold
    Yet love is youth eternal
    And our love cannot grow old
    We’ll live again in mem’ry’s dreams
    And love again and know
    That you are still my Heav’n to me
    As you were long ago
