Jim Croce Recently song lyrics

Used to be that I could see

A reason to be happy

'Cause I was free

But then, recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me

Used to be that I could pretend

That I wasn't really hurt back then

But then, recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me

'Cause

Mem'ries can be friends

Mem'ries can be friends

Or they can take you to a place

That you never thought you'd be again

And take you to a place

That you never ever thought

That you would see again

Doesn't matter now who was wrong

The future is tomorrow

'Cause the past is gone

And I'm findin' that I'm not as strong

As I thought that I used to be

'Cause, recently it seems

I've been lettin' your mem'ry get to me
