Got a shoebox full of memories Good and bad, mostly in between Got a cupboard full of broken slate Each in turn that I've wiped clean Got a life time of bad timing I should have left it to the wind Got a shoebox full of memories Good and bad, mostly in between Got a long way to go...you know Got to smile when you're down, Get up when you're low turn your Eyes to the sun and let it all go Turn your eyes to some light And the darkness will go. Got lots of time on my hands got Nothing to do but try and understand Got lots of feelings to plan got to put
Them into boxes 'cause they get out Of hand the telephone is off the hook Gonna put things in proportion, gonna Read a good book got to sit down and Clear my mind put my life off pause 'cause I can't rewind Every night I lie awake 'cause I'm Running out of potions that will put Me to sleep every night I lie awake And I'm numbing my emotions 'Cause they are to hard to keep But I know it won't take before I forget about these feelings and I Move along I know it won't take long Before I put you in my shoebox and I carry on
