A past that's sprinkled with the blues
A few old dreams that I can't use
Who'll buy my memories
Of things that used to be?

There were the smiles before the tears
And with the smiles some better years
Who'll buy my memories
Of things that used to be?

When I remember how things were
My memories all lead to her
I'd like to start my life anew
But memories just make me blue

A cottage small, just built for two
A garden wall with violets blue
Who'll buy my memories
Of things that used to be?

When I remember how things were
My memories all lead to her
I'd like to start my life anew
But memories just make me blue

A cottage small, just built for two
A garden wall with violets blue
Who'll buy my memories
Of things that used to be?

Who'll buy my memories
Of things that used to be?
