Too Many Memories Lyrics

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 its 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 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 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'll 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
