Lyrics

Colored Memories
© 2005 E. & D. DiDomenica
(verse 1)
I'm on the road, it' Saturday night,
And I got a gig I look forward to tonight.
My old neighborhood, looks the same.
October night, down mem'rie lane.
(chorus)
Gold and green, ruby too,
Colored memories of me and you,
Recall the heat, recall the autumn glow.
Keeps me warm, when cold winds blow
(verse 2)
I play some tunes, from days gone by,
familiar smiles in those barroom eyes.
Across the smoky dark atmosphere,
I see a real good friend, from yesteryear.
We sat and talked, man we had fun.
Drunken nights, wild kids on the run.
The thoughts are ruby, strong in my mind,
Like the bright red glow, of shared cheap wine.
(chorus)
(verse 3)
My eyes glanced up, at some fancy lace,
and traveled up, to see that pretty face.
We once were lovers, years in the past.
Love prevails, and our feelings last.
We hugged, we kissed, her fragrance was sweet,
Shear surprise, that tonight we'd meet.
The thoughts are golden, just like her hair.
They warm my heart. They're always there.
(chorus)
(verse 4)
The gig was through, we said our good byes.
Time moves on, so did our lives.
We were different, and content with change.
Fresh green mem'ries, keep us the same.
(chorus)
