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
