Lyrics: Dolly Parton. The Grass Is Blue. A Few Old Memories.

Just a few old memories
Slipped in through my door
Though I thought I had closed it
So tightly before, I can't understand it
Why it should bother my mind?
For it all belongs to another place and time

Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
I'm surprised they're still left

Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
(Turned)
I keep turned upside down
(Turned)

Just a few old memories
Going way back in time
Well I can hardly remember
I don't know why I'm cryin'

I can't understand it
Well I'm surprised in myself
First thing tomorrow mornin'
I'll clean off that shelf

Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well I'm surprised that they're left

Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside down
