Got a shoebox full of memories   Good and bad, mostly in between   Got a cupboard full of broken slate   Each in turn that I've wiped clean   Got a life time of bad timing    I should have left it to the wind   Got a shoebox full of memories   Good and bad, mostly in between      Got a long way to go…you know   Got to smile when you're down,   Get up when you're low turn your    eyes to the sun and let it all go   Turn your eyes to some light   And the darkness will go.      Got lots of time on my hands got    nothing to do but try and understand   Got lots of feelings to plan got to put   them into boxes 'cause they get out    of hand the telephone is off the hook   Gonna put things in proportion, gonna    read a good book got to sit down and    clear my mind put my life off pause   'cause I can't rewind      Every night I lie awake 'cause I'm    running out of potions that will put    me to sleep every night I lie awake   And I'm numbing my emotions   'Cause they are to hard to keep   But I know it won't take before    I forget about these feelings and I   move along I know it won't take long   Before I put you in my shoebox and I carry on
