Brings Back a Memory
Brings Back A Memory
The soft glow from that candle Brings back a memory,
The echo of the words a young man spoke that chilly day in January.
He spoke of many things that day, his wishes, dreams and hopes for
All shattered two years later on a Dallas day.
Words that continue to live on in our memory,
Words spoken that day are now forever part of our history.
And so as each year we pause for a moment in memory,
To remember his words and dreams for this country.
The glow from that candle still shines brightly
It reminds us of that day so long ago and a young man named Kennedy.
