Lyrics I'll Just Take These - Dwight Yoakam

I think that I
Will just take a memory
A small one that I know
Real well, then go

What I'll take is all
The happy thoughts I can recall
But I know there won't be much
That I can bear to touch

So I'll just take
What my mind can stand
'Cause there's not a lot
That you can hold
In trembling hands

Just these last few hopeful things
That we left lay
Then quickly leave before
Any more
Get in my way

--- Instrumental ---

So I'll just take
What my mind can stand
'Cause there's not a lot
That you can hold
In a trembling hands

Just these last few hopeful things
That we left lay
Then quickly leave before
Any more
Get in my way...
