Lyrics

"Just the Memory Stays Around"

The following song did not appear in any Bugaloos episode, and is found only on the Bugaloos Album. It is certainly their most somber song, and one has to wonder if it was recorded solely for the album (ie: to get people to buy it in order to hear this track), or if it was originally intended for a real Bugaloos episode, but was perhaps cut, because it just wasn't "happy" enough. It might have actually fit the storyline in the last Bugaloos' episode, "The Good Old Days".

Album Only Song: "Just the Memory Stays Around"

In the springtime, they speak in a whisper
Then the summer wind makes us all hear their sound
In the autumn sun, we watch how proudly they stand
As they drop, their voices to the ground
And when the winter comes
Just the memory stays around

In the springtime, they start to show their colours
Then the summer sun leaves no doubt that they're around
On the autumn nights, we hear how softly they sigh
As they send their banners to the ground
And when the winter comes
Just the memory stays around

And when the winter comes
Just the memory stays around
