Walls of My Mind

(Dolly Parton)



Engraved in my mind there are pictures

Mem'ries of a love I knew one time

So I find in my thoughts I stand looking

At the mem'ries hanging on the walls of my mind.



I see a mem'ry of raindrops

Falling in the park on the day we met

Walking with each other through the rain

Laughing, talking as we both got soaked and wet.



The mem'ry made that day I could never put away

That's the day he told me he'd be mine

And that's just one of the mem'ries

He left hanging on the wall of my mind.



And I have a mem'ry of springtime

Cherry blossoms and bird singing on the vine

And the secret place we'd hide and laid together side by side

And the love that shined so brightly in his eyes.



Springtime I recall was the sweetest time of all

That's the season our hearts became entwined

And that's just one of the mem'ries

He left hanging on the wall of my mind.



Through the spring and summer he loved me

And his love died with autumn leaves

His love was the wild and restless kind

When he left he left with me so many memories

He left them hanging on the wall of my mind, on my mind.



Mhm, mhm, hanging on the wall of my mind, on my mind

He left them hanging on my mind...
