[Verse 1]
He was the congregation's vagrant
With an unrequited love
When your passion's exaltation
Then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
When they decided they would try
And make it on their own

[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Where'd you go?
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
When July became December
Their affection fought the cold
But they couldn't quite remember
What inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing
Like A Streetcar Named Desire
They were fighting for their love
That had started growing tired (Tired)
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade away

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
When money lost momentum
And the bills were piling high
Then the smile had finally faded
From the apple of their eye
They were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should've known right from the start
You can't predict the end

[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Oh, memories, where'd you go? (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
You were all I've ever known (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
How I miss yesterday (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
And how I let it fade away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't fade away
(Ah)
