本曲大意
整首歌是敘述從戀愛、結(jié)婚到生小孩是多么甜蜜的過程，每個階段都留下美好的回憶，而這完整的回憶就是靠這些點點滴滴累積而成。作詞者把人生美好的回憶用食譜的方式來描寫，真是別樹一格。
英文歌詞
Take one fresh and tender kiss. Add one stolen night of bliss. One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy ─ memories are made of this.
Dont forget a small moonbeam; fold it lightly with a dream. Your lips and mine, two sips of wine ─ memories are made of this.
Then add the wedding bells, one house where lovers dwell, three little kids for the flavor. Stir carefully through the days; see how the flavor stays. These are the dreams you will savor.
With His blessings from above, serve it generously with love. One man, one wife, one love, two lives ─ memories are made of this. Memories are made of this.
歌詞翻譯
用一個清新、柔美的吻，再添加一晚快樂的偷情，接著再加上一個女孩，一個男孩，偶爾些許的悲傷，些許的歡樂，我們快樂的回憶皆由這些配料所做成。
不要忘了一道小小的月光，用夢把它輕輕地包起來，再加上妳我的雙唇，及淺嘗少許美酒，美好的回憶皆由這些配料做成。
然后再添加婚禮的鐘聲，加上兩個愛侶住的房子，再有三個小孩子來加添風(fēng)味。混合日子仔細(xì)的攪拌，看味道是否會持久。這就是妳會品嘗的夢。
將老天賜給我們的福氣配合我們自己的情愛柔柔地?fù)皆谝黄稹Ｒ粋€先生、一個太太、一份專注的愛情，兩個生命。美好的回憶皆由此做成。美好的回憶皆由此做成。
