Like A Vague Memory Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

You gave me a reason to laugh when I was down 

And you are all I feel for or care for in this town 

Where we are the only two dreamers alive 

We've got to leave, we can only survive 

Where all of this will be, a vague memory 

We see old friends and lovers with sadness in their eyes 

Dark empty places, we don't quite recognize 

Yes baby the world that we once knew now seems 

To be fading like scenes from old dreams 

It's fading gradually like a vague memory 

A vague memory, may never go away 

But it won't bring you down, day after day 

For those who can't feel what a young heart can feel 

This place holds something familiar and real 

But for you and me, it's a vague memory 

You gave me a reason to laugh when I was down 

And you are all I feel for, or care for in this town 

Whenever I hold you I know in my heart 

That it soon will move on and restart 

And all of this will be, just a vague memory 

A vague memory, may never go away 

But it won't bring you down, day after day 

For those who can't feel what a young heart can feel 

This place holds something familiar and real 

For you and me, it's a vague memory 

Yes, for you and me, it's a vague memory 

Just a vague memory, a vague memory
