You remember when you heard It
And how it made you feel down in your heart
You remember every word
They hit so hard you damn near wrecked your car
You pulled off on the shoulder
Regaining your composure
It brought back all the tears you thought were gone
Cause that's the way it happens
Nothing holds a memory like a song
It's in every note that's played
It's in every word that's sang
It's the good times and the bad times, right or wrong
It's how it used to be
Part of all of you and me for so long
Nothing holds a memory like a song
You never see 'em coming
They always seem to take you by surprise
They always seem to leave you
Stranded in another place and time
It's the music you remember
Like a slowly burning ember
It brings back all the times you thought were gone
Cause that's the way it happens
Nothing holds a memory like a song
It's in every note that's played
It's in every word that's sang
It's the good times and the bad times, right or wrong
It's how it used to be
Been part of you and me for so long
Nothing holds a memory like a song
Oh, nothing holds a memory like a song
