    Default Sightseeing memories

    After a long time
    I´m walking now…in my hometown
    I´ve got a time
    No need to run…sightseeing on my own

    Walking this street
    Watching buldings…all these witnesses
    Of my good times
    And falling downs…in my flowing years

    Bridge:
    Charming spell casting on me
    Sightseeing of my memories

    Chorus:
    How many times
    I left this town
    ´cos I felt it would
    Squeeze me
    And drown me
    In its concrete mud

    How many times
    I realize
    A feeling inside
    Calms me
    Protects me
    Forever my hometown

    This place recalls
    When all just was…my time of success
    Another place
    Falling from grace…reminds me all badness

    Bridge:
    Charming spell casting on me
    Sightseeing of my memories

    Chorus:
    How many times
    I left this town
    ´cos I felt it would
    Squeeze me
    And drown me
    In its concrete mud

    How many times
    I realize
    A feeling inside
    Calms me
    Protects me
    Forever my hometown

    Very nice Hugo, it's a great theme and it takes me back to my hometown too.

    How many times
    I left this town

    Great chorus, and to me it seems to get right to the heart of it.

    May I suggest just "sightseeing memories"? No prepositional needed, just a simple (noun)-predicate-object would be fine, and maybe even preferred by native-English speakers.

    However, I know and love two songs (by Gigi D'Agostino and Savage) where the English is not typical but the songs are great, and the lyrics are endearing in their own way, so in the end it's always your preference

    Nice idea about a title. Thank you.
