Bette Midler - Memories of You

Verse 1:

Why can't I forget like I should?

Heaven knows I would if I could

But I just can't keep you off my mind.

Though you're gone and love was in vain,

All around me you still remain,

Wonder why fate should be so unkind.

Refrain:

Waking skies,

At sunrise,

Ev'ry sunset, too,

Seems to be

Bringing me

Memories of you.

Here and there,

Ev'rywhere,

Scenes that we once knew,

And they all

Just recall

Memories of you.

How I wish I could forget those

Happy yesteryears

That have left a rosary of tears.

Your face beams

In my dreams,

'Spite of all I do,

Ev'rything

Seems to bring

Memories of you.

Verse 2:

Though for years we've been apart,

Time heals ev'rything but my heart

That still aches for you the same old way.

Seems I can't escape from the past,

And your spell keeps holding me fast,

Each tomorrow is like yesterday.

Repeat Refrain
