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
