MEMORIES OF YOU

To all our loved ones,
that was blessed with love and happiness

UP IN THE ATTIC...
WITH MEMORIES OF YOU
THE ACHE IN MY HEART
I JUST COULD NOT PART

NOW JUST CLOUDS OF DUST
AND SPIDER WEBS CLINGING
ON OLD DRESSERS AND ANTIQUES
THAT ARE NOW SPECKLED AND RUST

MEMORIES OF YOU
THAT ONCE ,WAS STORED IN MY HEART
ARE NOW JUST OLD MEMORIES,
OLD CLOTHES,AND PICTURES OF ALL SORT

I SPOTTED THE OLD PHONOGRAPH
ACROSS THE ONCE SUN-LIT ROOM
AND REMEMBERED,YOU BOTH DANCING
TO THE MUSIC,OF THE OLD FOX TROT

THE FLOWERS ON THE WALLS
NOW MUSTY AND DREARY
ALL MEMORIES LOCKED UP...
AND ITS NOW TO GIVE UP

THE MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY
WILL NEVER BE GONE
BUT TODAY AND TOMORROW
ALL LIFE WILL GO ON
