I remember how it used to be, when I was a little me
Back when everything was so heavy
Back when bottles of rain could easily entertain me all day
Painted my days with the games I played
I know the leaves of those days are falling
And the endless skies will disappear
And I'll no longer hear my mama calling
And the bubbles dry up, still the pills are right up when they reveal
It brings back memories
Now put them in a melody
Play it back to me, turn it up, I will
And all those memories
Are ringing out fast in me
Play it back to me, turn it up, turn it up, I will
Turn a page of history
Laugh at the portraits of family
Faded pictures, can't believe
I seriously wore those jeans
Now put them in a melody
I remember holidays
Staying up late on a Saturday
Life I served on a silver plate
Open up my hands and I come in glasses
So thankful for all the things we shared
I gladly carry my baggage
So wherever I go it reminds me
Of what I used to be
What I have
It brings back memories
Now put them in a melody
Play it back to me, turn it up, I will
And all those memories
Are ringing out fast in me
Play it back to me, turn it up, turn it up, I will
Oh Lord, I don't mind
Going back in time if it wasn't right
So let's go, oh, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Back in the day
Every time I do it brings a smile above my face
Started 20-some years ago
In 83
When I was born
Before we know it
We all grow
Oh yeah
It brings back memories
Now put it in a melody
Play it back to me, turn it up, I will
All those memories
Are ringing out fast in me
Play them back to me, turn it up, turn it up, I will
And all those memories
Are ringing out fast in me
Play them back to me, turn it up, turn it up, I will
Oh, play it back
Memory, memory, memory
Memory, memory
Memory, memory, memory
