Memories
The calendar drops another page
Adds another digit to my age
Those bright sunny days
My music loudly plays
Tunes that bring a smile to my face
Gets me dancin’ all over the place
Time sure runs fast when your days start to get slow
Memories both happy and sad, some so long ago
Some still fresh like wet paint that you dare not touch
Some make you grimace so don’t think of them too much
Singin’ into a wooden spoon
Summer will be here soon
People and pets now gone from view
Can’t replace and God knows I miss you
Time sure runs fast when your days start to get slow
Memories both happy and sad, some so long ago
Some still fresh like wet paint that you dare not touch
Some make you grimace so don’t think of them too much
Thank you all for being a part of my life and everything
The smiles then, and the ones your memories bring
And I love my family and every friend
I’ll always defend, yes you can depend
We make more memories every day
Chiseled in stone and here to stay
Time sure runs fast when your days start to get slow
Memories both happy and sad, some so long ago
Some still fresh like wet paint that we ain’t completed
Painted over cause why remember being defeated
Yeah, time runs fast, but our minds run quicker
Pop a bottled water, watch the fire flicker
Fire a doob, come sit by my side
For a couple hours come hide
Laugh about the things we thought
Would get us busted and we’d be caught
Back when gas was under a buck
We were young and didn’t give a fuck
Time has run so far from then it’s true
Memories soon will be all that’s left of you
One day all the painting will be done
Those around will gather to have fun
And the tales of days we ran, free without a care
Times we flew so high, drifting through the air
The smiles we brought, the tears we fought
All wrapped together in the smile we sought
Time sure runs fast when your days start to get slow
Memories both happy and sad, some so long ago
Some make me feel cool, some make me look dumb
Some you will never forget, while some you will become
