Lyrics I'll Just Take These - Dwight Yoakam

I'll Just Take These

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

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…
