Memories to Keep

v.

The dress covered in lace

Pretty smile on her face

A veil cascades off her head

Loving vows she has said

All their songs being sung

Ah, their love is so young

 

Ch

She’s making memories to keep

For long after they’re gone

 

Got a life time to fill

Lots of dreams to make real

 

Making memories to keep

For the words to their song

 

And her heart gives a leap

She says Momma don’t weep

We’re making memories to keep

 

v.

Treasure box opened wide

It can no longer hide

That lace dress on the floor

She can’t smile anymore

Many unkind words said

Now, their love has gone dead

 

Ch. 2

No more memories to keep

For long after they’re gone

 

There’s no life left to fill

All this pain is too real

 

No more memories to keep

There’s no tune for their song

 

No, her heart doesn’t leap

She and Momma weep

Cuz There’re no more memories to keep.

 

 

 

 

TAG

Yeah the dress, the song,

The love won’t live on

Pretty pictures fade as memories do

 

But the girl with the smile

Dreams all the while

Happy days will all come true

 

 

Ch 3

 

She wants memories to keep

For long after they’re gone

 

She has life left to fill

When her dream becomes real

 

Wanting  memories to keep

Gonna sing a new song

 

Ah, her heart plans to leap

No more tears will she weep

Waiting for memories to keep.
