"Memories In Gold" lyrics - FRANKIE LAINE

Those melodies that we two crossed years
Have underscored our laughter and our tears
With every phrase we see the past unfold
Like memories in gold.

Some tunes remind us of our childhood days
Sunday afternoons and songs of praise
Reflecting happy times in joys untold
These memories in gold.

From those early nursery rhymes
Through our adolescent times
We find more varied as we went along
And how could we go wrong

And how could we go wrong
With a special song
That would always see us through?

Our lives without them might be cold and bleak
Our favorite song is more than words can speak
They helped me win your love to heaven hold
Sweet memories in gold.

When the band played rock and roll
And the people called it soul
Our favorite songs were like a tapestry
Edged in melody
They would always be part of you and part of me.

There's little more to add when songs are sung
The words and music help keep us young
And so we're not afraid of growing old
With memories let's hear them, please
Sweet memories in gold.
