Elvis Presley & Mac Davis - Memories

Back in 2019, NBC broadcast and Elvis Presley & Mac Davis All Star Tribute... The song was performed on stage by Mac Davis, but included a movie clip of Elvis singing as well... The song is titled "Memories" Written by Mac Davis for Elvis... In this video, the two sort of sing together but not like those using a hologram... It is an interesting touch and I though that you folks might enjoy it... So here is Elvis Presley and Mac Davis performing "Memories"

"Memories" is a 1968 song originally recorded by Elvis Presley.

It was written by Billy Strange and Mac Davis specially for Presley to perform on Elvis, his comeback TV special that would air on NBC on December 3, 1968. Later Mac Davis recalled to Billboard: "They had asked for a song about looking back over the years, and oddly enough, I had to write it in one night. I stayed up all night at Billy Strange's house in Los Angeles. He had a little office set up in his garage. I wrote it right there."

LYRICS:

Mac Davis & Elvis Presley - "Memories"

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Quiet thought 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 through the ages just like wine
Memories, 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 through the ages just like wine
Memories, memories, sweet memories
Memories, memories

Written by Billy Strange and Mac Davis

I hope you enjoyed it...
