Though someone stole you away from me i'll hold your love in my memory Though miles between us can keep us apart your picture is locked in my heart Memories never die memories never die Though you're not here i still hold you near cause memories never die When you first left me i cried and cried just like a child whose mother dies Now when i want you i'll cry no more you're waiting at memory's door Memories never die... [ banjo ] When you are tired of someone new when you are living in mem'ries too Try to remember the used to be when you were in love with me Memories never die... Cause memories never die
