A Few Old Memories Recorded by The Statler Brothers Written by Don S. Reid and Harold W. Reid
C F C I burned all those pictures at least ten years ago G7 C That one of you beside the car was hardest to let go C7 F C That shoe box full of memories promises and lies G7 C The smoke from those old letters still gets in my eyes
F G7 C Just a few old memories of how it used to be F G7 C G7 Old songs and old friend remind me constantly C F C To think how close I was to you still gets close to me G7 C But all that’s left for me to love are a few old memories
F C There’s still a silver bracelet around the house somewhere G7 C It’s probably in that old trunk we keep beneath the stairs C7 F C The words you had put on it have tarnished and turned G7 C It and a few old memories are all that wouldn’t burn
