You say it's over You way it's through It was a long long time ago And he means nothing to you Oh but I heard you whisper Someone's name in your sleep last night Baby admit it Some memories just won't die Oh some memories just won't die Some feelings just won't leave Oh no matter how hard you try And I know every now and then You still think of him I see it in your eyes Some memories just won't die I thought my loving would help you forget But something tells me You're not over him yet Something's haunting you Way down deep inside Am I losing you To a memory that won't die And some memories just won't die Some feelings just won't leave Oh no matter how hard you try And I know every now and then You still think of him I see it in your eyes Some memories just won't die
