本曲大意

整首歌是叙述从恋爱、结婚到生小孩是多么甜蜜的过程，每个阶段都留下美好的回忆，而这完整的回忆就是靠这些点点滴滴累积而成。作词者把人生美好的回忆用食谱的方式来描写，真是别树一格。

英文歌词

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.

歌词翻译

用一个清新、柔美的吻，再添加一晚快乐的偷情，接着再加上一个女孩，一个男孩，偶尔些许的悲伤，些许的欢乐，我们快乐的回忆皆由这些配料所做成。
不要忘了一道小小的月光，用梦把它轻轻地包起来，再加上妳我的双唇，及浅尝少许美酒，美好的回忆皆由这些配料做成。
然后再添加婚礼的钟声，加上两个爱侣住的房子，再有三个小孩子来加添风味。混合日子仔细的搅拌，看味道是否会持久。这就是妳会品尝的梦。
将老天赐给我们的福气配合我们自己的情爱柔柔地掺在一起。一个先生、一个太太、一份专注的爱情，两个生命。美好的回忆皆由此做成。美好的回忆皆由此做成。
