Memories
Elvis Presley Lyrics

Memories, memories, sweet memories
Memories, memories

The lyrics of Elvis Presley's song "Memories" evoke a sense of nostalgia and reverence for past experiences. The opening lines "Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind / Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine" suggest that memories are precious and are cherished with time, just like wine that gets better with age. The following lines "Quiet thought come floating down / And settle softly to the ground / Like golden autumn leaves around my feet" paint a picture of a peaceful autumn day where the singer is slowly floating down the memory lane, reminiscent of the yellow and golden hues of fall.

As the song progresses, the lyrics describe different memories that hold a special place in the singer's heart. Lines such as "Of holding hands and red bouquets / And twilight trimmed in purple haze" and "And laughing eyes and simple ways / And quiet nights and gentle days with you" indicate that these memories involve a past love interest. The repetition of the chorus "Memories, memories / Sweet memories" reinforces the idea that memories are the only thing that remains when all is said and done.

Overall, "Memories" is a tender and sentimental song that celebrates the power of memories and highlights their importance in shaping one's identity and connection to the past.

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
The memories that I hold dear are like pages in a book, preserved forever in my thoughts.

Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
As time has passed, my memories have become even sweeter and more cherished, like a fine wine.

Quiet thought come floating down
My mind is filled with quiet thoughts and memories that come to me unbidden.

And settle softly to the ground
These memories settle gently in my mind, like leaves falling to the ground.

Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
My memories are like the leaves of autumn, golden and beautiful, gathered around me.

I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories
When I recall these memories, they seem to come alive and fill me with sweet joy.

Of holding hands and red bouquets
These memories are of holding hands with someone special and of receiving romantic gifts like red bouquets of flowers.

And twilight trimmed in purple haze
I remember peaceful evenings spent together, watching the sun set and the sky turn purple.

And laughing eyes and simple ways
These memories are of moments filled with joyful laughter and simple pleasures.

And quiet nights and gentle days with you
These memories are of the peaceful moments we spent together, enjoying each other's company and the beauty of the world around us.

Memories, memories, sweet memories
My memories are so precious to me that I can't help but repeat the word, savoring the sweetness of each one.
