        I Just Came Home to Count the Memories
                 (Cal Smith)
                    (1977)


G                                
I saw roses choking in the grass, 
D
Flaking paint and a broken window pane.
G                                 A
A mailbox barely standing by the driveway, 

I can almost read the name.



A swing-set and forgotten toys 

Where little girls and boys played happy games
A                        D
Everything I ever cared about is gone now,  

But the memory still remains.



CHORUS:

A                             D
I just came home to count the memories, 
                           
That I've been counting in my mind
A                   D
I just came home to count the memories, 

Of a better day and time




The old man from the house across the street asked,

How's it going and I said fine

But the expression on his face would make me think,

that he could almost read my mind



That Johnson boy from down the road was askinā 
if the kids could come and play
Lord I wish I could have told him yes, 
but I just  said, I guess no,
not today.


All the birds that sang their pretty songs aren't
singing like they did when we were here
Cause theres no happiness in music 
if somebody isn't close enough to hear



I picked a ragged daisy from it's home
out in the corner the yard --
ćhe loves me - She loves me not,
Now I donāt have to wonder anymore

(Last time)

š I guess itās time to say good-bye.
