A HOME FULL OF MEMORIES

THE MOVERS ARE COMING THIS SATURDAY

TO TAKE ALL OUR FURNITURE AWAY

BUT THEY CAN’T MOVE WHAT THEY CAN’T SEE

NO MOVER CAN MOVE MY MEMORIES

HERE’S OLD LETTERS THAT PLEDGE LOVE ETERNALLY

HOW SHORT THE TIME ETERNITY CAN BE

WAS IT ALL THOSE ROSES I NEVER SENT

OR LATER ALL THOSE KISSES WE ONLY HALF MEANT?

CHORUS

I’M SITTING HERE ALONE IN THE FIRELIGHT

RELIVING MY MEMORIES TONIGHT

SOME HEAVEY AS HEARTACHE SOME LAUGHTER LIGHT

SOME WARM AS FIRE’S GLOW SOME LIKE WINTERS’ NIGHT

BUT YOU CAN’T TAKE AWAY FROM ME A HOME FULL OF MEMORIES

THERE’S POSTCARDS FROM OUR PAST PICTURES THAT OUTLAST

WHAT USE TO BE BETWEEN YOU AND ME

I’M SAVING ALL THE LOVE WE HAD FOR YEARS

ALL THE SENTIMENTS, SMILES, AND EVEN THE TEARS

REPEAT CHORUS

I’M TAKING THEM TO A PLACE IN MY HEART

WHERE MEMORIES ARE PLACED WHEN LOVE FALLS APART

I’LL TREASURE EACH AND EVERY MEMORY

AND GATHER STRENGTH FROM WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME

REPEAT CHORUS

Then repeat last line: NO, YOU CAN’T TAKE AWAY FROM ME A HOME FULL OF MEMORIES
