MEMORIES FROM THE PAST
(George McCormick / Charles McCormick)


Norma Jean - 1964
Porter Wagoner - 1965



Oh, these lonely, lonely mem'ries from the past

I'm sittin' at the table where we used to sit
Thinking of love I knew would never last
But I heard the band start playin' our favorite song
But it's only lonely mem'ries from the past

I'm all alone tonight seeing visions of you
I wish I knew how long this thing will last
I know I'll soon be leavin' and I hope I will forget
All these lonely, lonely mem'ries from the past

(Instrumental Break)

The dance floor now is empty as I sit here all alone
And the time seems to go so very fast
I thought I heard you whisper, "I love you, oh, so much"
But it's only lonely mem'ries from the past

I'm all alone tonight seeing visions of you
I wish I knew how long this thing will last
I know I'll soon be leavin' and I hope I will forget
All these lonely, lonely mem'ries from the past
