"A Few Old Memories" Lyrics

(Don Reid - Harold Reid)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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' wellm, 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...
