I'll Take The Memories Lyrics - Lorrie Morgan

There's a van out in the drive 

It's time to divide everything up 

We've taken down the bed 

Where so many nights we made love 

We've gone through everything 

And given back the rings we once cherished 

You can take the things you want 

And leave the things you don't, but as for me 

I'll take the memories 

You can have the rest 

I know we've had some bad times 

But our good times were the best 

There's so many keepsakes 

After all that we've been through 

But I'll take the memories 

If I can't have you 

I don't know just what I'll do 

I've been so used to loving you 

For such a long time 

And even though I've tried 

There's no way that I get you off my mind 

So while we're packing up our lives 

And saying our goodbyes 

I wanna tell you 

You can take the things you want 

And leave the things you don't, as for me 

I'll take the memories 

You can have the rest 

I know we've had some bad times 

But our good times were the best 

There's so many keepsakes 

After all that we've been through 

But I'll take the memories 

If I can't have you
