guess that'll just have ta' do

i got me a memory or 2
some are happy, some are blue
some are good, some are sad
some are false & some are true
but that ain't all bad
i got me a memory or 2
guess, that'll just have ta' do

'cause memories live in yesterday
and yesterday's done past my way
yesterday's done gone away
yesterday's don't never stay
but, that's OK

i got me a memory or 2
some are happy, some are blue
some are good, some are sad
some are false and some are true
but, that's not all bad
i got me a memory or 2
guess, that'll just have ta' do

memories are made Today
and Today is made ta' play...
maybe the tunes of Yesterday
maybe the songs of Tomorrow
but somehow
i gotta' keep Livin' in the Here & Now
'cause i can't borrow
from Tomorrow
nor Yesterday
but, that's OK

i got me a memory or 2
some are happy, some are blue
some are good, some are sad
some are false and some are true
but, that's not all bad
i got me a memory or 2
guess, that'll just have ta' do
