Intro

Verse i

 He was the congregation's vagrant

 With an unrequited love.

 When your passion's exultation,

 Then finding refuge is not enough.

 She was the youngest of the family

 And the last to be let go.

 They decided they would try

 And make it on their own.

Chorus

 Oh, memories, where'd you go?

 You were all I've ever known.

 How I miss yesterday.

 And I let it fade away.

 Where'd you go?

 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Verse ii

 When July became December

 Their affection fought the cold,

 But they couldn't quite remember

 What inspired them to go.

 And it was beautifully depressing

 Like 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.

 They were fighting for their love

 That started growing tired.

Chorus

 Oh, memories, where'd you go?

 You were all I've ever known.

 How I miss yesterday.

 And I let it fade away.

 Don't fade away.

Solo

Verse iii

Money lost momentum

 And the bills were piling high.

 Then the smile, it finally faded

 From the apple of their eye.

 And they were young and independent,

 And they thought they had it planned.

 Should've known right from the start

 You can't predict the end.

Chorus

 Oh, memories, where'd you go?

 You were all I've ever known.

 How I miss yesterday.

 And I let it fade away.

 Oh, memories, where'd you go?

 You were all I've ever known.

 How I miss yesterday.

 And I let it fade away.

 Don't fade away.
