SENTIMENTAL VALUE Al Carmichael vocal (verse) My eyes began to water As I read those words again "We hope that you'll be present When Melinda marries Ben" We had chosen that gazebo By the pond at Watson's place And I still can see the love That she had wriiten on her face.. (prechorus) Was two years back we sent that invitation I thought for sure that girl was my salvation (chorus) But since she's gone.... I'm reading from a memory Of all that could have been, but never came to be Isn't worth the paper it was written on.... Just a dream that never did come true But it's got sentimental value (verse) I recall I spent a Friday With my older sister Sue Must have been a thousand stones That jeweler had us lookin' through 'Til we found one that was perfect For as much as I could pay One that sparkled like the teardrops That she cried engagement day. (prechorus) From nowhere she began to lose that shine And in a month, just that ring was mine (chorus) Since she's gone that ring is just a memory Of all that could have been but never came to be Guess I should sell that thing and just move on..... Make some other dream come true But it's got sentimental value (bridge) Funny how we cling to love at any cost Give it freely... but pay dearly when it's lost (chorus) Bur, since she's gone I've just got memories Of all that could have been but never came to be A shoebox holds a dream that came unlaced..... One that's worthless now, it's true But it's got sentimental value. (tag) Yeah, I should throw that box away But it's so hard to do It's still got sentimental value.
