Too Many Memories

(Turner Stephen Bruton)
 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 again
 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
 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
 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 till you die
 And the lessons you learn and you don't forget
 What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret
 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
 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
