"They Can't Take That Away From Me," Ella Fitzgerald
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me...

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Ghost Story - Sting

 

[E&Cmom]

"I Know You By Heart," Eva Cassidy
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
It's line is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heart...

 

[PollyannaMom]

Cole Swindell - Middle Of A Memory

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"In My Life," The Beatles
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new...

 

[RedAngie]

Everything is very quiet
Everyone has gone to sleep
I’m wide awake on memories
These memories can’t wait

 

[Imzadi]

Photographs and Memories - Jim Croce

"Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine"

What's sad is that it seems Jim died in a plane crash before he really had many recorded live performances of him singing his songs to remember him by.

 

[Imzadi]

Times of Your Life - Paul Anka

"Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?"

This song was used in some old Kodak film commercials back in the 70s. These are real tearjerker commercials.

Paul Anka singing:

Vicki Carr singing:

Downy fabric softener is using the song again in a current commercial:

 

[Pea-n-Me]

And I'm so glad that you just missed it
The way I stared
To memorize your face.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Memories- Elvis Presley

 

[OhDannyBoy]

Slipknot - wait and Bleed

"I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3-D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can't control my shakes!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a MEMORY? "

Memory I Don’t Mess With - Lee Brice

 

[Sinder]

 

[Imzadi]

Looks Like We Made It - Barry Manilow

"Love's so strange
Playing hide and seek with hearts and always hurting
And we're the fools
Standing close enough to touch those burning memories"

 

[Sinder]

The lyrics don't mention the word "memory" but if you are going to post Barry Manilow you've got to post
