There are keepsakes on the shelf from the past
reminders of a love that just didnt last
Why do we keep them? when they remind us of pain
and each time we see them the tears fall like rain
You cannot go forward if you dwell on the past
so you must clear your heart and mind of all the trash
No one new wants to hear of the life you had
as when you speak of that you grow quiet and sad
That is not the way to start a new life
and it won't ever give you a husband or wife
Your past is behind you live for a new day
or pain and sadness will be your only way
Give up the ghosts and look for a new love
and maybe the next one will be blessed from above
Life goes on fast whether your happy or blue
so be aware the choice is just upon you...
