Memories And Tears lyrics

[Chorus]
Memories and tears, memories and tears
Oh, how they torture me so
Memories and tears, memories and tears
I'd give the world if they'd go

[Verse 1]
When I stake the claim on your heart, dear
I seal it with one burning kiss
I thought then that no one before me
Had ever found love such as this

[Verse 2]
It seemed that this one earthly treasure
Was mine now to claim through the years
But time brought a change to your heart, dear
And left me with memories and tears

[Chorus]
Memories and tears, memories and tears
Oh, how they torture me so
Memories and tears, memories and tears
I'd give the world if they'd go

[Solo]
[Verse 3]
As always when one finds a treasure
Another man wanted my claim
I knew then I never could give you
His equal in wealth or in fame

[Verse 4]
I guess now my searching is over
For a one who will always be true
I have no desire for refilling
This heart that's left beckoned by you

[Chorus]
Memories and tears, memories and tears
Oh, how they torture me so
Memories and tears, memories and tears
I'd give the world if they'd go
