Memories Lyrics

The Temptations

Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral stair through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside

Memories, memories
Sweet memories
Of days gone by, that made me cry
Memories, memories
Sweet memories
That made me sad, that take me back to you
Memories, memories
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (aw baby)
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, by-ah
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, by-ah

Watching falling stars
On the grass by my old car
Making love there in the dark
Thinking we're alone
Law man shined his light
Trying not to act suprised
He left hard and all uptight
Told us to get on home

Ooh, ooh, memories, memories
Sweet memories
Of love we shared
Of love we shared
Memories, memories
Sweet memories
Of love we shared
We will never share them again
Memories, memories
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, by-ah
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, by-ah

[Instrumental]

Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral stair through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside

Ooh, ooh, memories, memories
Sweet memories
Of days gone by, that made me cry
Memories, memories
Sweet memories
That made me sad, that take me back to you
Memories, memories
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, by-ah
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, by-ah
