I shall start with 'memories, light the corners of my mind...' from 'The Way We Were' by Barbra Streisand, among others.

Photograph by Nickelback

Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Good bye, good bye
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin' for
It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Good bye, good bye, good bye

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In My Life - The Beatles

Memories by Leonard Cohen. Mr Cohen at his most racy!

Green day- Good Riddance

Tattoos and memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while

The Memory Remains- Metallica

Drift away fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash dust to dust fade to black
Fortune, fame mirror vain gone insane
Fortune, fame mirror vain gone insane
But the memory remains

BriocheBriocheBrioche · 13/08/2018 12:46

Muse - the small print.

Take, take all you need
And I'll compensate your greed
With broken hearts
Sell, I'll sell your memories
For 15 pounds per year
But just the good days

BartholinsSister · 13/08/2018 13:18

Only in the titles ...
"Memory Gongs" by Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd.
"The Memories Returning" by Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd.

MyDirtyLittleSecret · 13/08/2018 13:22

Madness - Muse

I can't get these memories out of my mind
Like some kind of madness is starting to evolve...

Emmasmum2013 · 13/08/2018 13:26

Rush - Making Memories

"There's a time for feelin' as good as we can
The time is now and there's no stoppin' us
There's a time for livin' as high as we can
Behind us you will only see our dust"

AutisticHedgehog · 13/08/2018 13:26

Africa by Toto

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

M3lon · 13/08/2018 13:35

The way we were

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

Ah takes me back to the teenage heartbreak

Memory Motel The Rolling Stones

gillybeanz2 · 13/08/2018 13:55

memories are made of this.

BartholinsSister · 13/08/2018 14:11

"Someone Somewhere in Summertime" by Simple Minds has something like ...

"Memories, burning gold memories
Golden day memories change me in these times"

GreenMeerkat · 13/08/2018 14:36

Against All Odds - Phil Collins

"All that's left her me to remind me is the memory of your face"

GreenMeerkat · 13/08/2018 14:37

Here to remind me*

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 13/08/2018 14:55

It doesn’t have “memory” in it, but I love the last two lines of Leonard Cohen’s Chelsea Hotel: “I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel/That’s all, I don’t even think of you that often.”

chocolateworshipper · 13/08/2018 16:45

Does it need to have those words, or just be about memories? I was thinking of "Nothing compares to you" by Sinead O'Connor

IndigoSpritz · 13/08/2018 16:50

'Here comes the rain again. Falling on my head like a memory'. Eurythmics.

‘And though you're dead and gone believe me, your memory will carry on. We'll carry on.’
My Chemical Romance- Welcome to the black parade

Sting - love all his lyrics , but this one jumped into my head
Desert Rose
“Sweet desert rose, this memory of Eden haunts us all, this desert flower, this rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall.”

Paul Simon - a bit sad this, but he is so good with lyrics, I am trying to sing some in my head now!
Old Friends

Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears."
Long ago . . . it must be . . .
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They’re all that’s left you

shakeatailfeather · 13/08/2018 17:22

Billy Joel, Piano man

It's nine o'clock on a saturday
Regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says son can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
