[Chorus]
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you

[Verse 1]
When I found out that you were leaving me
I couldn't sleep thinking about
All the things that we've been through
Now all I want to do is tell you
That I miss you so much
You know I really really miss you

[Chorus]
To those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you (Pretty memories)
To those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you

[Verse 2]
Now that I'm on my own
I know that in time, I'll find somebody new
(Who'll treat me better than you)
So now that I'm all alone without you
But I still love you (Love you)
You know I'll never live without you

[Chorus]
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
(All those pretty memories) All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record I love you (Pretty memories)

[Bridge]
I wish you'd change your ways soon enough
So we can be together
You just don't understand good love
But now all we have is memories

[Chorus]
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now (Of the way we used to be)
For the record: I love you, I love you
(All those pretty memories) All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you

[Interlude]
I miss you, I miss you
Oh, I miss you

[Chorus]
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you
All those pretty memories
I know you can hear me now
For the record: I love you, I love you

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
