TOYS IN THE ATTIC
(George W. Duning / George David Weiss / Joe Sherman)

Jack Jones

Also recorded by: Mark Winkler


A time for mem'ries returning,
A time for longing and yearning,
Shades of blue crowding through
As I sit here remembering you

A time for wond'ring what happened
For wond'ring why did it happen
No goodbye, not a sigh
How could love slip away and just die

I thought that you, the night, the summertime
Were out of sight and out of mind
Yet here you are, the night, the summertime
Still in my heart, I was blind

A time for mem'ries returning,
With too much heartache and yearning
So I'd better store those dreams away
Like broken toys in the attic
The mem'ries of my yesterday.

Like broken toys in the attic
The mem'ries of my yesterday.
