I have same problem with memory...... but I'm only 20. I have Attention Deficit Disorder, and have real problem commiting things to memory. I find repeating the verses to myself and just practicing alot helps. as I tend to make the song into a 'thread'that I follow. The only problem with this is I do lose my way in some songs and I find in some songs that I get into a repetative circle because I can't think of the next verse.I'll have to use the suggestion of learning the song backwards and see if that works for me. Thanks:)!
