I fall in love with memories
I hold them close to me
Of all the good times and the bad
Of all the hopes and dreams we've had
Hidden smiles and stolen kisses
Poetry and birthday wishes
Stowed away in a box underneath my bed
I hang my head on the wall
A trophy to be seen by all
I wear my heart on my sleeve
But I'll never let 'em take my memories
The night is quiet, the air is cold
The devil's come to take his toll
But I don't mind, it's time to go
I'll let the devil have my soul
Bitter hearts are torn away
How could I ask them to stay
When all I have is my memories
And after all this pain subsides
And after all these tears have dried
There'll be some peace at the end of time
A piece of what I've tried to find
I hang my head on the wall
A trophy to be seen by all
I wear my heart on my sleeve
But I'll never let 'em take my memories
I fall in love with memories
I hold them close to me
