Patty Loveless - Too Many Memories lyrics

(turner stephen bruton)

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 trickssome 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

And the lessons you learn and you don't 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
