(Larry Boone/Gene Nelson/Paul Nelson) I used to love him that ain't no lie We had a good thing till he said goodbye Then with one touch you set my heart ablaze I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame A perfect match that's what we are I'm gettin' over him underneath the stars The smoke has cleared from the hold he had on me I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame One by one those old embers burn You came along when I had no where to turn Just when I thought I'd never love again I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame When I'm with you I'm without a doubt We got a fire I don't ever want to put out And here with you is where I'm gonna stay Just burnin' old memories with a brand new flame One by one those old embers burn You came along when I had no where to turn Just when I thought I'd never love again I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame

Old memories, they don't go away They show up on Christmas Eve And leave you wishing for childhood days The lights on the tree, gifts on display Yeah, it only gets stronger with age Old memories, they don't go away Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears Decorate the empty rooms And take you back to the joyful years Friends that you made, carols you sang, Make a symphony just for your ears Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears It's like magic, I'm telling ya Makes you sentimental It brings out all the best in ya You ain't gon' ever lеt go Old photographs never fade away Thеy're just frozen there in time, Locked in pretty picture frames The hands that we held, the love that we gave, It's all black and white, that you can't change Old photographs never fade away It's like magic, I'm telling ya Makes you sentimental It brings out all the best in ya You ain't gon' ever let go Look at me lost in yesterday Ever since you've been gone, Feels like Christmas don't feel the same Snow doesn't fall, my heart's out of place and It only gets stronger with age Old memories of you and me, they don't go away

(Hazel Dickens) Just a few old memories Slipped in through my door Though I thought I had closed it So tightly before I can't understand it Why it should bother my mind For it all belongs to another place and time Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised they're still left Just a few old love letters With the edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down Just a few old memories Going way back in time Well I can hardly remember I don't know why I'm cryin' I can't understand it Well I'm surprised myself First thing tomorrow morning I'll clean off that shelf Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised that they're left Just a few old love letters With their edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down
