LYRICS

I stumbled on this photograph; it kind of made me laugh...
It took me way back - back down Memory Lane...
I see the happiness, I see the pain;
Where am I? Back down Memory Lane...

I see us standing there, such a happy, happy pair;
Love beyond compare; Look-a there, look-a there...

The way you held me, no one could tell me that love would die...
Oh, why...

Did I have to find this photograph? I thought I had forgot the past...
Now i'm slippin' fast, oh, back down Memory Lane...
I feel the happiness, I feel the pain;
Here am I, back down Memory Lane...
I'm in the sunshine, I'm in the rain;
I thought it was over, here I go again...

The way you held me, no one could tell me that love would die...

I don't wanna go travelin' down, faster that the speed of sound...
Back down Memory Lane...

Be stilll, my foolish heart; don't let this feeling start...
Back down Memory Lane...

I, I, I, I don't wanna go... ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo...
(Back down Memory Lane...)
Save me! Save me! Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
(Back down Memory Lane...)
Save me! Save me, save me, save me...
(Back down Memory Lane...)
Ooh, woo, woo...
(Back down Memory Lane...)
