MEMORIES
by
J.R. HANCOCK
MEMORIES, TEAR STAINED FADED PICTURES IN MY MIND,
MEMORIES, TAKE ME BACK INTO A DIFFERENT TIME,
I CAN HEAR MY MAMA SINGING ROCK OF AGES CLEF FOR ME,
I CAN SEE MY DADDY COMIN’ DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ME.
MEMORIES, TEAR STAINED FADED PICTURES FROM THE PAST,
MEMORIES, THINKIN’ ABOUT THE THINGS THAT DIDN’T LAST,
IT COULD BE YOUR MAMA’S SISTER, IT COULD BE AN OLD GIRLFRIEND, IT COULD BE THE TIME YOU PLAYED ALL NIGHT,
AND DIDN’T HAVE A BAND.
MEMORIES, WRINKLED, FADED LETTERS FROM A FRIEND,
MEMORIES, YES YOUR BROKEN HEART WILL SURELY MEND,
I REMEMBER BABIES BEING BORN, AND THE TIME I WRECKED THE CAR, BUT ADD UP ALL THOSE PRECIOUS THOUGHTS,
AND REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
MEMORIES, TAKE US TO A TIME WHEN WE WERE YOUNG,
MEMORIES, WE WERE KIDS AND EVERYTHING WAS FUN,
IF I COULD HAVE JUST ONE WISH, TELL YOU WHAT I’D DO,
I’D REWRITE ALL MY MEMORIES AND MAKE THEM ALL OF YOU.
CAUSE MEMORIES, ALL THAT’S LEFT WHEN THE MUSIC’S DONE.
