[00:00.000] 作词 : Glenn Mcguirt [00:01.000] 作曲 : Glenn Mcguirt [00:05.770]I saw roses choking in the grass flaking paint [00:11.352]In a broken window pane [00:18.791]A mailbox barely standin' by the driveway [00:23.565]I can almost read the name [00:31.801]A swing set and forgotten toys [00:35.251]Where little girls and boys played happy games [00:44.548]Everything I ever care about is gone now [00:49.870]But all the memories still remain [00:54.642]. [00:57.570]The old man from the house across the street asked [01:03.678]How's it goin' and I said fine [01:11.118]But the expression on his face would make me think [01:15.891]That he could almost read my mind [01:24.400]That little Johnson boy from down the road [01:28.375]Was asking if the kids could come and play [01:37.672]Lord I wish I could have told them yes [01:41.397]But I just said I guess son not today [01:49.098]I just came home to count the memories [01:56.001]That I've been carrying in my mind [02:02.915]I just came home to count the memories [02:10.271]Of a better day and time [02:15.320].. [02:18.508]All the birds that sang a pretty song [02:22.496]They aren't singing like they did when we were here [02:31.531]'Cause there's no happiness in music [02:35.778]When somebody isn't close enough to care [02:45.601]I picked a raged daisy from its home [02:50.646]In the corner of the yard [02:59.417]She loves me, she loves me not [03:02.608]Now I don't have to wonder anymore [03:10.843]I just came home to count the memories [03:17.748]That I've been counting in my mind [03:24.912]I just came home to count the memories [03:31.271]Of a better day and time [03:37.271]I just came home to count the memories [03:44.352]I guess it's time to say goodbye
