Lyrics
DOWN MEMORY LANE
Words and music by Stephen Amos
WELL I THINK I'LL TAKE A TRIP,
I'M GONNA LET MYSELF GO BACK,
TO THAT CORNER OF MY WORLD,
THAT YOU CAN'T FIND ON ANY MAP,
I'LL SPEED IF I WANT TO AND NOT GIVE IT A THOUGHT,
THERE WON'T BE ANY RED LIGHTS OR SIGNS TO MAKE ME STOP,
CHORUS
DOWN MEMORY LANE,
ALL THOSE BACK ROADS IN MY MIND,
DOWN MEMORY LANE,
I CAN SEE YOUR FACE TOUCH YOUR SKIN,
HOLD YOU LIKE YOU'RE MINE AGAIN,
I CAN EVEN TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME,
WHEN I GO PASSING THRU THE LOVE WE KNEW,
LONG BEFORE THE PAIN,
DOWN MEMORY LANE,
DOWN MEMORY LANE,
WELL IT'S NOT LIKE ME TO GO,
TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO BAD,
WHERE EVERY TURN REMINDS ME,
OF THE LOVE THAT WE ONCE HAD,
BUT SOMETIMES THAT DON'T MATTER 'CAUSE EVERY NOW AND THEN,
I JUST LOAD UP THESE MEMORIES AND HIT THE ROAD AGAIN,
DOWN MEMORY LANE,
CHORUS
OH THERE YOU ARE SUNLIGHT SPLASHING GOLDEN THRU YOUR HAIR,
SKY BLUE EYES LOOKIN' BACK AT ME,
I GET MYSELF LOST WHEN I GO THERE,
CHORUS
REPEAT FIRST FOUR LINES OF FIRST VERSE
