A Few Old Memories

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
Well, they don't mean nothin'
Well I'm surprised that they’re left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
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 at myself
First thing tomorrow morning
I'm gonna clean off that shelf
Just a few old keepsakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
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
