Lyrics
I
THE THINGS I LET GO
Goin' through an old address book
History on the pages
People who have disappeared
Not seen them for ages
Names and places long gone
Now, the ink is fading
Years have rolled swiftly by
I feel the tears cascading
Memories here when she was mine
A smile I won't forget
Or that summer afternoon
The day that we first met
A day in a lifetime, days long ago
Remembering my time, and the people that I miss and the things I let go
What became of the people
That filled my every day?
They're more than names on paper
Each one was life's bouquet
A phone number I recall
Still means so much to me
Reminds me of how good those were, and
How good it used to be
A day in a lifetime, days long ago
Remembering my time, and the people that I miss
And the things I let go
The things I let go
