Merle Haggard
Hang On to the Memories
We made our vows together, the chapel on the hill
Don't know why you're leaving, don't guess I ever will
You said you'd love forever, now forever has come and gone
But I guess that I will make it, but I'll make it all alone

So hang on to the memories that we have shared together
Good times, hard times, we didn't mind the weather
Ah, for me, I see hard times and oh what stormy weather
But hang on to the memories, some day we may get together

We slaved and saved together in sunshine, snow, and rain
Worked and saved for tomorrow, now tomorrow will be in vain
I wish you knew my feeling, never been this low before
At times when we're both breathing as we walk in to the door

So hang on to the memories that we have shared together
In good times and hard times, we didn't mind the weather
Now for me, I see hard times and oh what stormy weather
But hang on to the memories, some day we may get together
But hang on to the memories, some day we may get together
