Friendly faces seem to fade away

We were long time lovers now we're less than being friends

We used to run around the garden as our love grew day by day 

Now we're getting older you say your legs don't work the same

Things come and they go but the memories stay

Why did you come and then go caused me so much pain?

(And all you said was) Things come and they go

But, did you forget?

The memories stay stay stay

Oh they stay with me

You're the only book I know page by page

Now, all that I know turns to all that I knew 

Cause Now we're getting older and this page doesn't feel the same

And now we're getting older and my eyes don't work the same. 

Things come and they go but the memories stay

Why did you come and then go caused me so much pain?

(And all you said was) Things come and they go

But, did you forget?

Oh, things come and they go but the memories stay

Why did you come and then go caused me so much pain?

(And all you said was) Things come and they go

But, did you forget?

The memories stay stay stay

Oh they stay with me

The memories stay stay stay

Oh they stay with me

Things come and they go but the memories stay

Why did you come and then go caused me so much pain?

And all you said was... Things come and they go

But, did you forget?

The memories stay stay stay

Oh they stay with me

The memories stay stay stay

Oh they stay with me
