Elizabeth Rea Mathis - Memory Lane Lyrics

Sometimes I drive down memory lane to that place I'll never be again
And as I pass through the way, it's a bittersweet reminder of yesterday
I know time can make the gray sky blue. It changes its colors for you
So those things that haunt you in the night can no longer live in the morning light
And it's funny how each passing day paints a golden road to memory lane

Memory lane is the place to be when I'm feeling lonely
She is my one and only, traveling down memory lane
I drown myself in yesterday, getting lost in her endless pathways
Let those times come one day, though it's never quite the same
My wish to be there remains as I travel along memory lane

Memory lane has always been there for me
Biding her time, just waiting to be
She knows I'm gonna knock again. She'll be ready to let me in
Memory lane holds the key to my soul and the regrets, only she can know
She sees what was, but not what will be. Those days are still a mystery
So I'll travel down that road again, looking for my old friend
I'll call out to her by name, my beautiful memory lane

Memory lane is the place to be when I'm feeling lonely
She is my one and only, traveling down memory lane
I drown myself in yesterday, getting lost in her endless pathways
Relive those times come what may, though it's never quite the same
My wish to be there remains as I travel along memory lane

Ooh, my beautiful memory lane
Paved with golden memories
When I fall back on back on what used to be
She's always there to comfort me
Ooh, my beautiful memory lane
Ooh, take me where I wanna be,
To the place of golden memories
Ooh, my beautiful memory lane
