I`ll Take The Memories — текст песни (Tanya Tucker)

(Charlie Craig/Keith Stegall)

There`s a moving 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 rights
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 had some bad times
But our good times were the best
There`s so many keepsakes
After` all 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
Such a long time
Even though I`ll try
There`s no way that I`ll get you off my mind
So while we`re packing up our lives
And saying our goodbyes I want to telI you
You can take the things you want
And leave 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 had some bad times
But our good times were the best
There`s so many keepsakes
After` all we`ve been through
But I`ll take the memories
If I can`t have you
