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.
