A Few Old Memories

Just a few old memories

Slipped in through the 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 keepsakes

Way back on the shelf

No, they don't mean nothin'

Well, I'm surprised that they're 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

That go way back in time

Why, I can hardly remember

I don't know why I'm cryin'

I can't understand it

Why, I'm surprised at myself

First thing tomorrow morning

I'll clean off that shelf

Just a few old keepsakes

Way back on the shelf

No, they don't mean nothin'

I'm surprised that they're left

Just a few old love letters

With their edges all brown

And an old faded picture

I keep turned upside-down
