I got a memory wrapped in time
Back from the days when you were mine
But it's so bittersweet
I know we put that love to rest
But you had the laugh I loved the best
It meant so much to me
Don't throw it away
There's always things to lose
There's always things to save
There might be something back there
You'll want again someday
Don't throw it away
I can't forget that New Year's Eve
When I made you cry and made you leave
I was such a jerk
I hope you can smile and tell your friends
The stories of crazy things we did
When our love really worked
Don't throw it away
There's always things to lose
There's always things to save
There might be something back there
You'll want again someday
Don't throw it away
Someday with your new love in tow
So we can raise a glass to the way we let go
Don't throw it away
There's always things to lose
There's always things to save
There might be something back there
You'll want again someday
Don't throw it away
