A Few Old Memories

(Don Reid - Harold Reid)



Just a few old memories slipped in through my 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 keep-sakes way back on the shelf

No, they don't mean nothin', well I'm surprised they're still left

Just a few old love letters with the edges all brown

And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down.



--- Instrumental ---



Just a few old memories going way back in time

Well, I can hardly remember I don't know why I'm cryin'

I can't understand it, well, I'm surprised myself

First thing tomorrow morning I'll clean off that shelf.



Just a few old keep-sakes way back on the shelf

No, they don't mean nothin' wellm, 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...
