Those Memories Keep Coming Back Again - v2

(please also see other lyric version by Gary Biggs)

memories belong to yesterday
but just when I think they've gone away . . .

those memories keep coming back again
memories that make my lonely nights so blue
those memories keep coming back again
memories that keep me always loving you

sometimes I think of all the ordinary things we used to do
I try to sweep them from the corners of my mind
but when I think that I can cope, just when I think that I'll pull through,
and when I think I've left them far behind ...

those memories keep coming back again
memories that make my lonely nights so blue
those memories keep coming back again
memories that keep me always loving you

I tell myself I'll find a way, persuade myself the past is past
convince myself that there's no use in holding on
I tell myself to face the future, that unhappiness won't last,
then suddenly - just when I think they've gone ...

those memories keep coming back again
memories that make my lonely nights so blue
those memories keep coming back again
memories that keep me always loving you

sometimes my mind will paint a picture of the way we used to be
sweet recollections on a bright and sunny day
I tell myself that I can cope, that I'm determined to be free
and when I think that everything's okay

those memories keep coming back again
memories that make my lonely nights so blue
those memories keep coming back again
memories that keep me always loving you

it's always you my aching heart remembers
