These are actually words to a song I wrote and perform at open mics in the area.
When the trees release their leaves and they crash softly to the ground And summer moves along to warm a different face We may miss playin in the sunshine, with good friends sharing good times While the summer may move on, the memories stay I remember taking the training wheels off of my bike for the very first time And I remember most of my high school days My first kiss, learning to drive and the first time I stayed out all night While the days of my youth are behind me - the memories stay My mother and my daddy have both now moved on Many friends and relations have also gone away I will never hear them laugh again, those days have come and gone While our loved ones may move on - their memories stay And I’m thankful for the memories - may they never go away I want to hold them close and feel their warmth, each and every day I look forward to making new ones, that will cheer me when skies are grey They lift me up when I’m feeling down, I’m so grateful that memories stay
