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
