Close the box Turn the key Lock the lid On a boxful of memories
Long ago, Far away It's like it all happened to another girl On another day
Well, I was young And so was he And we’re both foolish enough To believe in making memories... (memories)
But happiness is like a speck of dust Just dancing, swirling in the wind (and through the trees) And love, sweet love is only for those Foolish enough to believe
So long ago (so long ago) So far away (so far away) I guess that fool was me
But now I know So much better Sadder but wiser, like they say And now I see, I'm safe -- there's only me All alone with my boxful of memories
So, close the door (close the door) Twist the key (twist the key) Lock your heart away In a boxful (of memories) A dusty old boxful… of memories (a dusty old boxful…)
