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
