a few old memories

Dolly Parton

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

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'
Well 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
