Lyrics:
“Who’ll Buy My Memories”
(from “Songwriter” soundtrack)
A few old dreams that I can’t use
Who’ll buy my mem’ries of things that used to be
There were the smiles before the tears
And with the smiles some better years
Who’ll buy my mem’ries of things that used to be
When I remember how things were
My memories all leave 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 mem’ries of things that used to be
When I remember how things were
My memories all leave the girl
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 mem’ries of things that used to be
Who’ll buy my mem’ries of things that used to be
