Mem'ries Rise
You can ask me how it happens
I don't know so I can't say
It's a riddle wrapped in a mys'try
A hidden path to yesterday
It shows up without warning
Like a thief in the night
It carries me away
As mem'ries rise
(Chorus)
The mem'ries rise,The memries rise
It can be a rainy day
A rainy day or a lonesome lonely night
Maybe a DJ on the radio
Plays "The Song Remembers When"
And I go back again I'm there with you again
In the fleeting blink of a tear filled eye
Time stands still
The mem'ries rise
(INST.)
(Bridge)
Bittersweet how bittersweet
These memories of you and me
The road not taken's there before my eyes
And the mem'ries rise The mem'ries rise
(Chorus)
The mem'ries rise,The mem'ries rise
It can be a rainy day
A rainy day or a lonesome lonely night
Maybe a DJ on the radio
Plays "The Song Remembers When"
And I go back again I'm there with you again
In the fleeting blink of a tear filled eye
Time stands still
The mem'ries rise
