Stephen Bruton - Too Many Memories lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember this town with a love by my side And a peace seldom felt in this day and time And it gets melancholy every now and then When you let your mind go and it drifts way back when Life plays it's tricks, some cruel but fair And even a fool can pretend they don't care [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] There are those moments and they just never fade The look in his 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 have 'til you die And the lesson you learn and you don't dare forget What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
