I remember this town with a love by my side
|
And a peace seldom felt in this day and time
|
And it gets melancholy every now and again
|
When you let your mind go and it drifts way back when
|
Life plays it's tricks, some cruel but fair
|
And even a fool can pretend they don't care
|
|
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
|
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
|
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
|
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
|
|
There are those moments and they just never fade
|
The look in his eyes and the way the light played
|
God moved in that moment and the angels all cried
|
And they gave you a memory that you have till you die
|
Now the lesson you learn and you don't dare forget
|
What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret
|
|
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
|
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
|
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
|
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
|
|
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
|
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
|
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
|
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
|
