She was a girl I loved and married seems like only yesterday

We thought we really had it made when it didn't work out that way

She's gone I'm alone I'm half a man I'm just a used-to-be

All I've got to live for is paper sack full of memories



Old love letters and worn-out photograps things left on love's first gleam

Pictures of us on our wedding day what a treasured sight to see

These personal private things I've locked away for my eyes alone to see

For all I've got left there is paper sack full of memories



This paper sack full of memories is all I have to cling to

A little bag full of faded love

We broke apart she locked my heart and she still holds the key

My future my past my whole wide world is paper sack full of memories

Memories memories
