He was the congregation's vagrant
With an unrequited love
When your passion's exaltation
Then finding refuge is not enoughShe was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
And they decided they would try
And make it on their ownOh memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade awayWhere'd you go?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohWhen July became December
Their affection fought the cold
But they couldn't quite remember
What inspired them to goAnd it was beautifully depressing
Like 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
They were fighting for their love
That started growing tiredOh memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade awayAnd the money lost momentum
And the bills were pilin' high
Then the smile had finally faded
From the apple of their eyeAnd they were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should've known right from the start
You can't predict the endOh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade awayOh memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade away
