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 tricks
Some are 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
Like the look in his eyes
And the way the light played
Love 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
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
