Bittersweet Memories

[Verse]
Today I saw in the paper 
A recent picture of you
It said you were getting married 
You were about to say I do

[Verse]
And that opened the floodgates 
Of a time back in the past
When you and I were together 
And we thought our love would last

[Verse]
That was back when we were young 
And it’s a lifetime away
I still remember everything 
Just like it was yesterday 

[Chorus]
Those bittersweet memories 
Came rushing back today 
Of a time when you were mine
But I couldn’t make you stay 
Even though it would all end
I still remember all the fun
And I’m nothing but thankful 
For our brief time in the sun
Those bittersweet memories…
Came rushing back today 

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
I remember those summer nights 
Us making out in my backseat 
Underneath the full moon’s light 
Man those times can’t be beat 

[Verse]
All those days of holding hands 
As we walked along the beach 
It was the time life was perfect 
And nothing was out of reach 

[Verse]
We both lived and laughed and loved 
Just as often as we could 
But things just didn’t work out 
The way that I’d hoped they would 

[Verse]
The old world kept on spinning 
And time passed like it does 
But sometimes it feels good
To think about what once was

[Chorus]
Those bittersweet memories 
Came rushing back today 
Of a time when you were mine
But I couldn’t make you stay 
Even though it would all end
I still remember all the fun
And I’m nothing but thankful 
For our brief time in the sun
Those bittersweet memories…
Came rushing back today 

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Do you think of the days
The time of you and me
All the fun that we had 
When we were young and free 
Does it cross your mind 
Of how things could’ve been 
If we’d stayed together 
In those days back then 

[Chorus]
Those bittersweet memories 
Came rushing back today 
Of a time when you were mine
But I couldn’t make you stay 
Even though it would all end
I still remember all the fun
And I’m nothing but thankful 
For our brief time in the sun
Those bittersweet memories…
Came rushing back today 

[Final Chorus]
Those bittersweet memories 
Came rushing back today 
Of a time when you were mine
But I couldn’t make you stay 
Even though it would all end
I still remember all the fun
And I’m nothing but thankful 
For our brief time in the sun
Those bittersweet memories…
Came rushing back today
