Lyrics

Mem ’ries of you and me

the way that we used to be,

things that we said.

Tried to be one has ev er made me be lieve so strong.

You left me to won der: but how did our love go wrong?

(Cm)An

where you run ning to now?

ge li a,

got to make you turn a round.

I lie a wake at night,

wait for the sun to shine.

I still feel you next to me,

your lips on mine.

Tried to be out a warn ing you made your love a lie.

Then you you were sor ry, but you nev er told me why.

ge li a,

won’t you please you turn a round?

May be my love is in vain; may be you’re the (Bb)hurt ing kind.

Can’t take no more of this pain; I’ve got to get you (Fm7)off my mind.

where you run nin’ to now?

ge li a,

where you run nin’ to now?
