I remember the sound of the screen door swingin’

Summer wind and the old dog dreamin’

Dust in the sunlight, slow movin’ air

All of us as kids still linger like we’re standin’ there

I remember bare feet on the living room boards

Songs on the radio, singin’ half-known words

Food on the table, rain on the tin

All the little moments comin’ back again

Cause remembering

Feels like holdin’ smoke and light

Pieces of forever

Driftin’ through the night

Some things leave footprints

Time can’t wash away

So I close my eyes sometimes

And let remembering stay

I remember walkin’ down an empty road

Hands wrapped tight when the cold wind blew

The way silence could say everything

Without a single word from you

Now the years roll by like ocean waves do

Still carryin’ memories soft and true

And every little thing the world lets through

Brings back all of us together… my family too

Cause remembering

Feels like holdin’ smoke and light

Pieces of forever

Driftin’ through the night

Some hearts leave footprints

Time can’t wash away

So I close my eyes sometimes

And let remembering stay

Maybe that’s the gift love leaves behind

Tiny golden threads through space and time

Not gone… just hidden in the breeze

Waitin’ in old songs and autumn leaves

Remembering

Is bittersweet and kind

A thousand little photographs

Still livin’ in my mind

And though the world keeps turnin’

Some things never fade

So I’ll sit here for a while

And let remembering stay
