THE MEMORIES Vs 1 Footsteps echo in the hallway, and there’s ashes in the fireplace In this house where two young lovers once believed There's the bed that we laid on; but tender nights are long gone Now I’m here deciding what to take or leave Chorus But how do we divide the memories, from a life we said would last ‘til death do part? We were living in a perfect dream; then I woke up with a broken heart We can split up the things we don’t really need ---- they don’t mean much to me But how do we divide the memories? Vs 2 In a stack of old love letters, I found the song we wrote together Now that melody and rhyme is bittersweet That cedar chest down in the basement holds the quilt that grandma made us That was meant to cover only you and me 2nd Chorus But how do we divide the memories? Even now my mind goes back to that first night You started such a fire that burned in me, then put it out, the day you said good-bye We can split up the things we don’t really need ---- they don’t mean much to me But how do we divide the memories? Bridge If I could rewrite our love story the way it should read, On every single page you’d be lovin’ me, and you’d never leave Chorus (Last two lines) Tag By: Alan Alley and Russ Pruitt; © 2008 Alley/Pruitt; 2225 High Street, Portsmouth, OH 45662; 740-353-0505; 740-464-7940 (cell); 740-820-8200; goodfootp@roadrunner.com ; dralley@falcon1.net
