  D               A7         A7sus4   A7
Sweet, sweet the mem'ries you gave to me,
 
D                 A7          A7sus4   A7
You can't beat the mem'ries you gave to me.


D         A         G       D    A7 - A7sus4 - A7
Take one fresh and tender kiss,

 D       A      G         D    A7 - A7sus4 - A7
Add one stolen night of bliss;

G          D          A7             D
 One girl,   one boy,   some grief,    some joy -

D          A7               D       A7    A7sus4    A7
Mem - o - ries are made of this.


D         A     G          D      A7 - A7sus4 - A7
Don't forget a small moonbeam;

D     A           G    D      A7 - A7sus4 - A7
Fold in lightly with a dream.

G           D           A7           D
 Your lips     and mine,    two sips    of wine -

D          A7                D      A7    A7sus4    A7
Mem - o - ries are made of this.


Bridge:

 G                            D
  Then add the wedding bells,   one house where lovers dwell,

  A           A7           D     D7
Three little kids for the fla - vor;

 G                                 D
   Stir carefully through the days - see how the flavor stays?

E               E7            A     A7
These are the dreams you will sa - vor.


D         A         G      D     A7 - A7sus4 - A7
With His blessings from above,

D         A       G       D     A7 - A7sus4 - A7
Serve it generously with love;

G          D           A7           D
  One man,   one wife,     one love   through life -

D          A7                D      A7     A7sus4     A7
Mem - o - ries are made of this,


D          A7               D      A7   A7sus4    D
Mem - o - ries are made of this.
