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) WRITERS: Alan Alley and Russ Pruitt;
