Too Many Memories Lyrics - Patty Loveless

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 its tricks, some cruel but fair 

And even a fool can pretend they dont care 

When theres too many memories for one heart to hold 

Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold 

And shadows grow long and your eyes look so old 

When theres too many memories for one heart to hold 

There are those moments and they just never fade 

Like 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'll have till you die 

Now the lesson you learn and you dont dare forget 

What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret 

When theres 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 theres too many memories for one heart to hold
