Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I stumbled on this photograph

It kind of made me laugh

It took me way back

Back down memory lane

[Verse 2]

I see the happiness

I see the pain

Where am I?

Back down memory lane

[Verse 3]

I see us standing there

Such a happy, happy pair

Love beyond compare

Look a there, look a there

[Verse 4]

The way you held me

No one could tell me that love would die

Oh why did I have to find this photograph?

I thought I had forgot the past

Now I'm slippin' fast

Oh, back down memory lane

[Verse 5]

I feel the happiness

I feel the pain

Here am I

Back down memory lane

[Verse 6]

I'm in the sunshine

I'm in the rain

I thought it was over

Here I go again

The way you held me

No one could tell me that love would die

[Verse 7]

I don't wanna go

Travel up and down

Faster than the speed of sound

Back down memory lane

[Verse 8]

You steal my foolish heart

Don't let this feeling start

Back down memory lane

[Verse 9]

I don't wanna go

Back down memory lane

[Verse 10]

Save me

Save me

Back down memory lane

[Verse 11]

Save me

Save me, save me, save me, save me, save me

Back down memory lane

Back down memory lane

Back down memory lane

Back down memory lane

I don't, I know, I know, I don't know

Back down memory lane
