Verse:
Round me at twilight come stealing,
Shadows of days that are gone.
Dreams of the old days revealing,
Mem'ories of Love's golden dawn.

Chorus:
Memories, Memories,
Dreams of love so true.
O'er the sea of memory,
I'm drifting back to you.
Childhood days, Wildwood days,
Among the birds and bees.
You left me alone, But still you're my own,
In my beautiful Memories.
