I can remember The day that you told me I won't be there, I'm not that strong Holding these memories I feel unfolding This is the last time Now I'm gone Just one last time and I'm gone I'll return to the scene of the crime

Yeah, one of those nights At the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights One of those nights She's getting dressed up, putting on that lipstick Shimmy shaking, right into them cut-offs baby, oh yeah You're getting off work, cashing out that

I will always love you If I should stay Well, I would only be in your way And so I'll go, but yet I know That I'll think of you each step of my way And I will always love you Bitter-sweet memories That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me Good-bye,

I will always love you If I should stay Well, I would only be in your way And so I'll go, but yet I know That I'll think of you each step of my way And I will always love you Bitter-sweet memories That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me Good-bye,

Blue gardenia I lived for an hour Love bloomed like a flower Thrown to a passing breeze But pressed in my book Of memories Now I'm alone with you And I am oh, so blue He has tossed us aside

Wait for me to come home We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing And time's forever frozen still So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet And if you hurt me Inside these

I will always love you If I should stay Well, I would only be in your way And so I'll go, but yet I know That I'll think of you each step of my way And I will always love you Bitter-sweet memories That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me Good-bye,

But you'll think of me Take your memories I don't need 'em And take your cap and leave my sweater In fact I'll feel a whole lot better 'Cause we have nothing left to weather Take your records, take your freedom Take your space and take your reasons So

And choke on the memories Oh oh oh oh, oh Choke, choke, yeah Ha ha ha ha, ha Choke, choke Well I see breakfast on the table And I can smell you in the halls I'll keep a message of you if you call, of you if you call Lord knows I'd cry if I was able

In my solitude you haunt me With reveries of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair I'm filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare
