Memories linger on
When life's dead and gone
My heart starts to fret
Because I can't forget

Every night it seems
You're always in my dreams
I'm searching all night long
'Cause memories linger on

I see your smiling face
Feel your warm embrace
These are the things I remember
Then the fire dies
And turns to burning ember, oh oh

Memories linger on
As the days go by
Memories linger on
And now I wonder why

I see your smiling face
Feel your warm embrace
These are the things I remember
Then the fire dies
And turns to burning ember, oh oh oh oh
Memories linger on
As the days go by
Memories linger on
Oh, I wonder why
