I'll Just Take These lyrics

(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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
So I'll just take what my mind can stand
'Cause there's not a lot that you can hold
In trembling hands
