PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORIES
scroll down then up for midi to play
As it rained the other day
I decided to reminisce
Went to get my little box
Of 'I'll remember this'
Memories from even a child
Bits and pieces of this and that
Even in a little envelope
My little worn-out baby cap
Strange the things we put away
Let them sit in a box for years
Then one day we take them out
Always have to shed some tears
Memories of Mom and Dad
Childhood pictures of my brother
Little pieces left of my favorite doll
Loved her like I never did another
A little rose you gave to me
I was only then thirteen
Tickets from the movies we saw
Treated me just like a queen
Little Binkie the bear you bought
When you knew you had to go
Four years into the Navy
Sat home and oh I missed you so
Bundle of letters saying you love me
We wrote each other every day
Pictures of the places you had been
We just had so much to say...
Times were good and so are memories
Of the days of way back when
I just dry the tears that flood my face
Wishing we could go back to then
Photographs and Memories
Hold them gently every part
Tuck them in the box again
Treasures live within my heart
