A past that’s sprinkled with the blues    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 lead to her   I’d like to start my life a new   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 lead to her   I’d like to start my life a new   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
