Too Many Memories

I remember this town

With a girl by my side

And a love seldom found

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 its tricks

Some cruel but fair

And even a fool can pretend he 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

Like the look in her 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'll have 'til you die

Now the lesson you learned

And you don't dare forget

What makes you grow old

Is replacing hope with regret

And 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
