<♪> Sometimes at night When the hour is late I lay awake With a tear on my face Close my eyes and pretend Back through time I go drifting again Back to a place That lives on ever green Back to a time When my heart was a peace When someone cared for me With a mother's love Long ago and so far away Memories take me home Long ago and so far away Memories won't leave me alone Oh no, no one in the world Can take them away from me Memories may be all I have So let me be Oh no, no one in the world Can know what they mean to me Sweet memories <♪> God bless the child Who must grow up alone God bless the man Who can never go home Bittersweet like a dream Wake up and it's gone Long ago and so far away Memories take me home Long ago and so far away Memories won't leave me alone Oh no, no one in the world Can take them away from me Memories may be all I have So let me be Oh no, no one in the world Can know what they mean to me Sweet memories Long ago and so far away Memories take me home Long ago and so far away Memories won't leave me alone <♪>
