I Just Came Home To Count The Memories - John Anderson (约翰·安德森)[00:00:00]
I saw roses choking in the grass flaking paint[00:00:12]
In a broken window pane[00:00:17]
A mailbox barely standin' by the driveway[00:00:24]
I can almost read the name[00:00:28]
A swing set and forgotten toys[00:00:36]
Where little girls and boys played happy games[00:00:38]
Everything I ever care about is gone now[00:00:47]
But all the memories still remain[00:00:51]
The old man from the house across the street asked[00:00:58]
How's it goin' and I said fine[00:01:02]
But the expression on his face would make me think[00:01:10]
That he could almost read my mind[00:01:14]
That little Johnson boy from down the road[00:01:21]
Was asking if the kids could come and play[00:01:24]
Lord I wish I could have told them yes[00:01:33]
But I just said I guess son not today[00:01:36]
I just came home to count the memories[00:01:43]
That I've been carrying in my mind[00:01:49]
I just came home to count the memories[00:01:54]
Of a better day and time[00:02:00]
And all the birds that sang a pretty song[00:02:08]
They aren't singing like they did when we were here[00:02:10]
'Cause there's no happiness in music[00:02:19]
When somebody isn't close enough to care[00:02:22]
I picked a raged daisy from its home[00:02:31]
Out in the corner of the yard[00:02:34]
She loves me she loves me not[00:02:42]
Now I don't have to wonder anymore[00:02:46]
I just came home to count the memories[00:02:52]
That I've been counting in my mind[00:02:58]
I just came home to count the memories[00:03:04]
I guess it's time to say goodbye[00:03:10]
