[Verse 1]
Whispers in the grass
Under slow-dancing trees
Birds were telling me stories
Saying you were meant for me
With their

[Chorus]
Bittersweet melody
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back and can't go on without those
Bittersweet memories

[Verse 2]
Creaking kitchen floor
Snow slips under the door
Tiny speakers were singing
Telephone always ringing
With those

[Chorus]
Bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back and can't go on
[Bridge]
I remember us
Before we turned to dust
Just what our feelings were all about
When we still could trust
In our hearts

[Chorus]
Bittersweet memory
Like a sweet melody
Bittersweet memories
Can't go back and can't go on
Both of us singing that same old song
Without
Bittersweet memories
Like a sweet melody
Bittersweet memories
And it seems oh so long since those
Bittersweet melodies played for me
