Lyrics Gathering Memories - Jimmy Ruffin

Gathering Memories

Gathering precious memories
'Cause they’re all that’s left of the love she took from me
For a moment I’d like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday
I remember (I remember)
The September that we met
It was raining and we got wet
Then we found shelter
I reached out and touched your hand
The tender moment when our love began
Oh, it seems so long ago I’ve known
And now I’m gathering precious memories (Keep on gathering memories)
'Cause they’re all that’s left of the love she took from me
For a moment I’d like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday
Now, there’s the tree (I remember)
That holds the heart I carved for her
There’s the park where we walked together
I can see her tender smile
Warm as a summer’s day
I can hear her voice say we’ll love forever
Oh, be a year makes it so very clear, oh yeah
Though I know, it was so long ago
And I keep gathering precious memories (Keep on gathering memories)
'Cause they’re all that’s left of the love she took from me
For a moment I’d like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday
Oh, baby (Remember)
Ooh ooh (Oh, I remember)
Baby (Remember)
Mmm
(Gathering precious memories
'Cause they’re all that’s left of the love she took from me) Oh oh
I see the train
We talked of leaving on one day
For a paradise that wavered far away
I see an empty room
The bed of which I cried
'Cause she took the train alone, I don’t know why
She was untrue, and now all I can do
Is keep on gathering, oh, my memories (Keep on gathering memories)
'Cause they’re all that’s left of the love she took from me
For a moment I’d like to feel the way I did
When I walked with lovin' yesterday
(Keep on gathering memories
'Cause they’re all …)
