Gathering Memories

[Chorus]
Gathering precious memories
'Cause they're all that's left of the love she took from me
For a moment I'd like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday

[Verse 1]
I remember (I remember)
The September that we met
It was raining and we got wet
Then we found shelter
I reached out and touched your hand
The tender moment when our love began
Oh, it seems so long ago I've known

[Chorus]
And now I'm gathering precious memories (Keep on gathering memories)
'Cause they're all that's left of the love she took from me
For a moment I'd like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday

[Verse 2]
Now, there's the tree (I remember)
That holds the heart I carved for her
There's the park where we walked together
I can see her tender smile
Warm as a summer's day
I can hear her voice say we'll love forever
Oh, be a year makes it so very clear, oh yeah
Though I know, it was so long ago

[Chorus]
And I keep gathering precious memories (Keep on gathering memories)
'Cause they're all that's left of the love she took from me
For a moment I'd like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday

[Bridge]
Oh, baby (Remember)
Ooh ooh (Oh, I remember)
Baby (Remember)
Mmm

[Chorus]
(Gathering precious memories
'Cause they're all that's left of the love she took from me) Oh oh

[Verse 3]
I see the train
We talked of leaving on one day
For a paradise that wavered far away
I see an empty room
The bed of which I cried
'Cause she took the train alone, I don't know why
She was untrue, and now all I can do

[Chorus]
Is keep on gathering, oh, my memories (Keep on gathering memories)
'Cause they're all that's left of the love she took from me
For a moment I'd like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday

(Keep on gathering memories
'Cause they're all ...)
