Lyrics
You rolled over and kissed me tenderly
And we took it slow for a while
Then you did unto me as I did unto you
Till this day it still makes me smile
(chorus)
Do the memories linger in your mind
Or have they fallen by the wayside long ago
Do the memories haunt you in the night
Or have yo finally learned to let them go
So many lovers I've held in my hands yes I have
But like a fool I let you walk away
It was your loving that got to this man
I wish you'd have been the one to stay
(chorus)
Do the memories linger in your mind
Or have they fallen by the wayside long ago
Do the memories haunt you in the night
Or have yo finally learned to let them go
(bridge)
From the moment it was over
My eyes opened wide
To the mistake of a lifetime
From which I couldn't hide
(chorus)
Do the memories linger in your mind
Or have they fallen by the wayside long ago
Do the memories haunt you in the night
Or have yo finally learned to let them go
