I’m thinkin’ ’bout my baby right now,
And I’m feelin’ sentimental.
She’s all I got in my memory,
But it really isn’t accidental.

All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.
All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.

I think about her though she’s gone from me,
And I want to get her back sincerely.
I pray to heaven she’s alright tonight,
‘Cause you know I love her, lover her dearly.
But, …

All I have is this lonely song,
Lonely song I’m singin’ all night long.
All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.

Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo …
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo …
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo …
Oh …
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo …

All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.
All I have is this lonely song,
Lonely song I’m singin’ all night long.
All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.
All I have is this lonely song,
Lonely song I’m singin’ all night long.
