"Memories" lyrics

I tried to write you a letter, but bein' lost may be better
I wouldn't know what to say, if I should run into you
Billie Jean had a baby, Emmanuel's in the Navy
Willie Joe's into Jesus, I'm still into you

Memories still carry me away, carry me away with you
Memories, they don't need a reason to be
Memories, pictures of a season in my life with you
I keep remembering you

Your mom and dad were evasive
They wouldn't tell me where you live
They said you left with no trace, not even a clue
Said now you're somewhere in China, or maybe North Carolina
I keep hoping I'll find you, you'll come out of the blue

Memories still carry me away, carry me away with you
Memories, they don't need a reason to be
Memories, pictures of a season in my life with you
I keep remembering you, I keep remembering you
