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

If I can't have you
