Lyrics
We both are kind of stubborn.
We both are kind of proud,
No matter how we're hurting
We’d never cry out loud.
I think we both could take it,
No matter how this ends,
I think we both would make it,
But then I think again.
Sure are a lot of mem-ries,
Sure were a lot of years,
Sure was a lot of laughter,
We had our share of tears.
Now that we’ve got to face it,
I just want you to know,
Sure are a lot of memories,
I’d hate to let them go.
I think that you’ve been wrong, and
You think that I’ve wronged you,
But we’ve known all along that
What we both think is true.
It's easier to break it,
than build it back again,
And I'm not gonna fake it,
I don't want us to end.
Sure are a lot of memories,
Sure were a lot of years,
Sure was a lot of laughter,
We had our share of tears.
Now that we’ve got to face it,
I just want you to know,
Sure are a lot of memories,
I’d hate to let them go.
