Tumbledown: Listen
Memories
(Tumbledown)
Words & Music by Alan Collins
Lyrics:
When I saw you last night
I longed to hold your hand
Now I’ve got something to tell you
And I hope you’ll understand
I know it was over months ago
But when I get close to you
I get this feeling and I wonder
Do you still feel it too?
I don’t want to take your freedom
You know I’d rather end up dead
But I’d still like to get to know you better
Can’t get you out of my head
It’s been this way for quite a while
I didn’t know how to express
The way I feel about you, babe
I was just plain scared, I guess
Chorus:
The times we laughed together at night
And what about the times I held you tight?
Well, I’ve still got these memories trapped way deep inside
And still you know the feeling hasn’t died
Remember the times we’d sneak away so we could be alone?
How I wished those nights could go on forever but you had to get back home
I should have know you were too young to fall in love with me
But I still wish that things could be the way they used to be
Repeat chorus
I tried to go on living
Without you day to day
Until I finally realized
I can’t go on this way
And I want you know no matter what
I’ll love you till the end
So if you and I can’t be lovers
Can we at least be friends?
Repeat chorus
