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
