I Just Came Home To Count The Memories

歌曲歌詞

I saw roses choking in the grass flaking paint

In a broken window pane

A mailbox barely standin' by the driveway

I can almost read the name

A swing set and forgotten toys

Where little girls and boys played happy games

Everything I ever care about is gone now

But all the memories still remain

The old man from the house across the street asked

How's it goin' and I said fine

But the expression on his face would make me think

That he could almost read my mind

That little Johnson boy from down the road

Was asking if the kids could come and play

Lord I wish I could have told them yes

But I just said I guess son not today

I just came home to count the memories

That I've been carrying in my mind

I just came home to count the memories

Of a better day and time

And all the birds that sang a pretty song

They aren't singing like they did when we were here

'Cause there's no happiness in music

When somebody isn't close enough to care

I picked a raged daisy from its home

Out in the corner of the yard

She loves me she loves me not
