"Too Many Memories" lyrics

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 it drifts way back when
Life plays its tricks
Some cruel but fair
And even a fool can pretend he don't care

When there's too many memories
For one heart to hold
Once a future so bright
Now seems so 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

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
Now the lesson you learned
And you don't dare forget
What makes you grow old
Is replacing hope with regret

And there's too many memories
For one heart to hold
Once a future so bright
Now seems so 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
