MEMOIRS
Ooh, sweet memory, sweet memory...
Remember me in your memoirs,
I'm leaving mine behind me,
I'm goin' where you'll never find me,
Preserve my sweet memory.
Remember me in your memoirs,
'Cos all my fun has gone missin',
Too many lies and not enough kissin',
Preserve my sweet memory.
We had some high old times 'till you brought me down.
Well, now it's goodbye two-timer, it's time to get out of town.
Remember me in your memoirs,
My life's too short for pining,
I'm lookin' for my silver lining,
Preserve my sweet memory.
Remember me in your memoirs,
Recall me with nostalgia,
I'll think of you with deep neuralgia,
Preserve my sweet memory.
Remember me in your memoirs,
When you're alone by the fireside
You'll realise I did have my good side,
Preserve my sweet memory.
We had some happy times 'till you messed around.
I'm left with just sad old times, the best time to be leaving town.
Remember me in your memoirs,
With all your booze and fighting
If you ever find time for writing
Preserve my sweet memory...
...sweet memory, sweet memory.
