Memories - Marvin Gaye

Memories, precious memories

Memories, precious memories

Memories, precious memories

Memories, precious memories

I recall a time as we used to sit for hours

Holding hands, I used to buy you flowers

With our hearts together

Nothing mattered

I remember dreams I had and plans we made

Oh I’d grow in love girl to cascade

Oh but the dreams are all shattered

What can I do now that your love has left my life

My dreams are cut to shreds by jealous, hateful lies

The knife was made of lies and schemes that we knew so well

To turn our glowing love into a cold and empty shell

Leaving me with memories, girl, and harmony

Memories, oh, how love ought to be

Oh, precious memories

Ooh baby, precious memories

I was a fool, I know

Honey and don’t it show?

It can’t help but shine

Here is a grown man crying

Mixed up in confusion

So badly disillusioned

This precious love I’ve had

Slipped away so fast

Now the plan is gone and there’s a reasonable substitute

I just saw myself crying, it didn’t look too cute

I found a single blood you dropped and you hate to part

I used it to press my tears and held it to my heart

It brought back memories

Reminding me how love used to be

Memories, precious memories

Memories, precious memories

Memories, precious memories

Memories, precious memories
