Answer 4

What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don’t bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while

Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok

But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go

But I’m doin’ It

It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone

Still Harder

Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret

But I know if I could do it over

I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart

That I left unspoken

What hurts the most

Is being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most

Is being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you

That’s what I was trying to do

My favourite is a quote by Rachel Carson: "For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it is a pity that you use it so little."

If you want more, check the link I've put below.

The second link is a page I found from Google; it's got a set of songs about memories.

Answer 6

[Memory is] a man's real possession...In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.

Alexander Smith (1830 - 1867)

Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918 - )

Memory feeds imagination.

Amy Tan (1952 - )

The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Poor Richard’s Almanac (1758)

The palest ink is better than the best memory.

Chinese Proverb

Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?

Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)

One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.

James Branch Cabell (1879 - 1958)

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.

Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park

Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.

John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)

It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.

Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898)

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.

Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

He who is not very strong in memory should not meddle with lying.

Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.

Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.

P. D. James

For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it is a pity that you use it so little.

Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964)

The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.

Tryon Edwards (1809 - 1894)

Answer 7

God gave us memory that we might have roses in December.

James M. Barrie

The passing of silent oars marked only by the ripple in the beholder's memory.

Answer 8

Photograph by Nickelback

Look at this photograph

Everytime I do it makes me laugh

How did our eyes get so red

And what the h**l is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up

I think the present owner fixed it up

I never knew we'd ever went without

The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school

Most of the time had better things to do

Criminal record says I broke in twice

I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late

Should i go back and try to graduate

Life's better now then it was back then

If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye.

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye.

Remember the old arcade

Blew every dollar that we ever made

The cops hated us hangin' out

They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio

And sing along with every song we know

We said someday we'd find out how it feels

To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed

I was so nervous that I nearly missed

She's had a couple of kids since then

I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye.

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye.

I miss that town

I miss the faces

You can't erase

You can't replace it

I miss it now

I can't believe it

So hard to stay

Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days

I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye.

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye.

Look at this photograph

Everytime I do it makes me laugh

Everytime I do it makes me...

Answer 9

"Time it was,

And what a time it was,

It was...

A time of innocence,

A time of confidences.

Long ago...it must be...

I have a photograph.

Preserve your memories;

They're all that's left you."

- Paul Simon (Bookends)

Answer 10

Here's a couple of songs :

1. Elvis Presley : "Memories"

(words & music by Bill Strange - Scott Davis)

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind

Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down

And settle softly to the ground

Like golden autumn leaves around my feet

I touched them and they burst apart

with sweet memories,

Sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets

And twilight trimmed in purple haze

And laughing eyes and simple ways

And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind

Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine,

Memories, memories, sweet memories

2. "Memory" from the musical Cats

(The lyrics, written by Trevor Nunn, were based on T. S. Eliot's poems "Preludes" and "Rhapsody on a Windy Night")

Midnight not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Memory, All alone in the moonlight

I can dream of the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters

And soon

It will be morning

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in.

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

(Music interlude)

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

A streetlamp dies; another night is over

Another day is dawning...

Touch me!

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun...

If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun.
