A Few Old Memories
Dolly Parton
Just a few old memories Slipped in through my door Though I thought I had closed it So tightly before I can’t understand it Why it should bother my mind For it all belongs to Another place and time Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No they don’t mean nothing Well I’m surprised they’re still left Just a few old love letters With the edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside down Just a few old memories Going way back in time Well I can hardly remember I don’t know why I’m crying I can’t understand it Well I’m surprising myself First thing tomorrow morning I’ll clean off that shelf
