As time goes by, while living far away from my home town, and as family members pass away, my mind is occasionally filled with memories of the past.
Lyrics
I love to see those mem'ries gently floating through my mind
one by one I see them; photos of the fam'ly past
Random shots of memories, dancing through the fog
Through the haze of yesterday, I see them come and go
One by one they come and go like street lights in the fog
Like browsing through the fam'ly photos, long since stored away
Long since long forgotten on the shelves of yesterday
I welcome ev'ry memory, as they come and go
Parading in and out of sight, like it was yesterday
And my heart begins to sing again, the songs it used to sing
Familiar songs and melodies of mem'ries long ago
I welcome ev'ry one of them; each fam'ly memory
I love to see those memories gently floating through my mind
When we get together with the fam'ly, now and then
The stories begin to be retold of how it was back then
Each one offers theirs accounts of how they thought it was
Awash in laughter truth comes out of how it, really was
And my heart begins to sing again, the songs it used to sing
Familiar songs and melodies of mem'ries long ago
I welcome ev'ry one of them; each fam'ly memory
I love to see those memories gently floating through my mind
Yes my heart begins to sing again, the songs it used to sing
Familiar songs and melodies of mem'ries long ago
I welcome ev'ry one of them; each fam'ly memory
I love to see those memories gently floating through my mind
I love to see those memories, floating, through my mind
