Something They Can't Take Away

Roy Orbison · Other Songs - Roy Orbison

All too soon we were blown upon



Our separate ways again



And our warm summer dreams



Joined the fallen leaves



That tumbled in the wind with the echoes



And traces of voices and faces



And places that I've left behind



But there's times in the morning



And there's times at the close of day



When your memory comes easy as smiling



And that's something they can't take away



I may die without ever



Knowing happiness again



Leaving nothing behind but a line



Of lonely footprints in the sand



But I know that wherever I go



I will never trade anything I'll ever find



For the times in the morning



And the times at the close of day



When your memory comes easy



As smiling and that's something they can't take away



When your memory comes easy



As smiling and that's something they can't take away
