Too Many Memories Lyrics - What I Know - Tom Rush

I remember this town with a girl by my side 

And a love seldom found in this day and time 

And it gets melancholy every now and again 

When you let your mind go and drifts way back when 

Now life plays its tricks 

Some 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 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 

Now there are those moments 

And they just never fade 

Like the look in her eyes 

And the way the light played 

God moved in that moment 

And the angels all cried 

And they gave you a memory 

that you'll have til you die 

And the lesson you've learend 

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 distant and cold 

And the shadows grown long and your eyes look so old 

When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
