I burned all those pictures at least ten years ago.
That one of you beside the car was hardest to let go.
That shoebox full of memories, promises and lies,
the smoke from those old letters still gets in my eyes
Chorus
Just a few old memories of how it used to be,
old songs and old friends remind me constantly
to think how close I was to you still gets close to me,
but all that's left for me to love are a few old memories.
2nd verse
There's still a silver bracelet, around the house somewhere.
It's probably in that old trunk we keep beneath the stairs.
The words you had put on it have tarnished and turned.
It and a few old memories are all that wouldn't burn.
