All I Have Are Memories (Kevin Kelley Vocal) Songtext

von The Byrds

Some people say I'm one of those guys the blessings of life over looked
Sometimes I feel like the tattered, torn pages of some old paperback book
All the places I've played and the money I made, I've still got nothin' to show
And the only thing I have left in the whole wide world is you
I gave it all I had every night for all these years
Pourin' out my soul till it was gone
I spread myself so thin that I'm just barely hangin' on
But tonight I'm with you, you can carry me throughjust love me
'Cause the only thing I have left in the whole wide world is you
You put your whole life into something you love
But you never get that one big break
That'll take you out of the backstreet bar and put you on center stage
But a million tears and million beers have just about washed me up
I gave it all I had every night for all these years
Pourin' out my soul till it was gone
I spread myself so thin that I'm just barely hangin' on
But tonight I'm with you, you can carry me throughjust love me
'Cause the only thing I have left in the whole wide world is you
The only thing I have left is you
