(Harlan Howard)



A photograph that's signed With Love

Your lipstick and a tiny glove

Why did you leave so many things

To tear at my heart strings.



Odds and ends, bits and pieces

Of an old love affair

Old love letters and some flowers

That you wore in your hair.



Odds and ends, bits and pieces

Of those happy by gone years

Odds and ends that keep tugging

At my tears.



A book you read, a good luck charm

I gave to keep you from all harm

The tear stained note you left behind

But all the tears were mine.



Odds and ends, bits and pieces

Of an old love affair

Old love letters and some flowers

That you wore in your hair.



Odds and ends, bits and pieces

Of those happy by gone years

Odds and ends that keep tugging

At my tears...
