Fortune In Memories
recorded by Ernest Tubb
written by Cindy Walker and Lou Wayne
 

I've got fortunes in memories 
        
Of your walk your talk your smile
 
I've got treasures of heartaches
                      
And old dreams out of style
 
 
I've got bundles of broken vows

Collected through the years
     
I've got fortunes in memories
                              
And they all were bought with tears
 
 
All my life I've been in love 
     
With you and now you're gone

All I own is memories 
                   
Of you that linger on
 
 
In some ways you left me nothing
 
But the losers share
   
In some ways I guess I am
                 
sort of millionaire  
 
Repeat #1 & 2

 
Take the pretty little lies
    
You told me one by one
  
Take the careless [bad word] things
                          
The sweet things you have done
 
 
Count them all as lost and
         
They are more than I can bare
  
Count them all as memories 
                  
And I am a millionaire
 
Repeat #1 & 2
