Bits and Pieces

Just when I think I'm doing fine
Gone a whole day without you on my mind
Out of the blue something comes along
And proves that I'm absolutely wrong

No matter where I go; what I do
There's always something to remind me of you
It happens more than you could ever know
When it does, I try not to let it show

An Overnight truck just passed by
I turn my head and softly sigh
No one sees that I'm lost in thought
Remembering all those dinners that I brought

C.T.S. on license tags I've seen a few times
That key chain with those initials to be mine
Wooden bridges over streams; weeping willow trees
Bring back thoughts of holding you next to me

Never came the Day in the Park for my love and I
And when I see a wedding there, I could cry
Pictures of me on the wall; they don't realize
It's your reflection that's seen in my eyes

When I hear your name; it's still the same
The old feelings come my heart to claim
Asleep at night; even then you don't leave me alone
For in my dreams you make your presence known

I find it so hard to believe
That these old memories won't leave
It's hard to believe that even now
You've got a way to get to me somehow

Is there a way to break the chains that still bind
To unlock the memories, set them free from my mind
Bits and pieces of you still tear me apart
Bits and pieces of memories still cut to the heart
