There's a moving van out in the drive It's time to divide everything up We've taken down the bed Where so many nights we made love We've gone through everything And given back the rights We once cherished You can take the things you want And leave the things you don't But as for me
I'll take the memories You can have the rest I know we had some bad times But our good times were the best There's so many keepsakes After' all we've been through But I'll take the memories If I can't have you
I don't know just what I'll do I've been so used to loving you Such a long time Even though I'll try There's no way that I'll get you off my mind So while we're packing up our lives And saying our goodbyes I want to telI you You can take the things you want And leave the things you want And leave the things you don't But as for me
I'll take the memories You can have the rest I know we had some bad times But our good times were the best There's so many keepsakes After' all we've been through But I'll take the memories
