Memory Lane - Minnie Riperton

It's Autumn here, going on November I view the leaves in all their splendour Is it déjà vu? I just can't remember I stop a while and take in the scene I stop a while and ask a stranger Is this the place that was once called Memory Lane? I don't know where I am or what I'm after I'm stuck here again back on Memory Lane Now the leaves are falling and it's coming on to Winter Nights keep getting shorter and shorter every day One sign up ahead says "Danger" Another one says "Stop" One says "Yield this way" And it swerves and moves around the corners And there's flashing lights up ahead 'round the bend The road curves and twists and turns And twists and turns and wanders 'Til you get, 'til you get to the very end Now I'm back here again with more questions than answers And I'm standing in the pouring rain There's something moving, moving in the shadows And it's getting dark now, up on Memory Lane I stop a while and ask some strangers Is this the place that was once called Memory Lane? I don't know where I am, don't know what I'm after I'm stuck here back up on Memory Lane I stop a while and ask some strangers Is this the place that was once called Memory Lane? Don't know where I am right now or what I'm after I'm stuck here up, just up on Memory Lane I'm stuck here up, back on Memory Lane I'm stuck here back up on Memory Lane I'm stuck here back, back up on Memory Lane

It's a lazy afternoon Just a kind of a day made for lovin' you Soon the evening breezes will start to blow Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go Ooh, I love the things you do And the way that I feel when I'm close to you I have dreamed so long, is it really so? Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go Off to wonderland, floating hand in hand Like in the movies Everyone can tell that I'm in love with you I never knew what love could do My heart begins to pound whenever you're around I'm never coming down, oh-oh no It's a quarter after two And there's no one around except me and you Well, it's times like this that I'm living for Shall we turn the lights down and lock the door? Baby, don't stop, don't you dare, no ooh Just a little bit more, we're almost there Any second now I'll explode Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go Off to wonderland, floating hand in hand Like in the movies Everyone can tell that I'm in love with you I never knew what love could do My heart begins to pound (my heart begins to pound) Whenever you're around (you, you) I'm never coming down, oh-oh no Oh-oh no, oh-oh no Ooh baby Never coming down Ooh baby, ooh baby Never coming down You are so beautiful to me I'm never coming down (never coming down) You satisfy yourself, oh, forever
