Alicia Keys - Old Memories On Christmas Lyrics

Old memories
They don't go away
They show up on Christmas Eve
And leave you wishing for childhood days
The lights on a tree, gifts on display
Yeah, it only gets stronger with age
Old memories, they don't go away

Old holiday songs (yeah)
They bring all the tears
Decorate the empty rooms
And take you back to the joyful years
Friends that you made (yeah), carols you sang (yeah)
Like a symphony just for your ears
Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears (uh-huh, uh-huh)

It's like magic, I'm telling ya
Makes you sentimental (that's right)
It brings out all the best in ya
You ain't gon' ever let go

Old photographs
Never fade away
They're just frozen there in time
Locked in pretty picture frames
The hands that we held (yeah), the love we gave (yeah)
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 (yeah)
It brings out all the best in ya
You ain't gon' ever let go

Look at me lost in yesterday (I see you)
Ever since you've been gone
Feels like Christmas don't feel the same
Snow doesn't fall (yeah), my heart's out of place (yeah)
And it only gets stronger with age
Old memories (uh-huh) of you and me
They don't go away
