Childhood Memories lyrics

Artist  : Iris Dement 
Song : Childhood Memories
 
Fireflies inside of a mason jar. 

Acting big behind the wheel of daddy's car.

Playing church around the old piano stand,

You were quite a preacher and oh, we sang so
grand.

I remember every night what we would say and
do:

"If you've forgiven me, then I've forgiven
you."

And now when life begins to get the best of
me,

I reminisce these childhood memories.



We built a raft and traveled all around the
world,

And stopped for penny candy at the corner
store.

You let me fly your kite but when I dropped the
string.

I thought my life was over, but Mama rescued
me.

When I was just a kid you taught my prayers to
me.

Then you turned around and you told me about
those birds and bees.

Come what may, you've been endeared to me,

Because we share these childhood memories.



Instrumental bridge.



Well, time, it moved so fast; those days are over
now.

We've all gone our separate ways, but still
somehow,

I often need to telephone and talk to you,

To see if you remember things the way I do.

It won't be too much longer `til we'll be old and
gray,

And winding up our travels here on life's
highway.

But no matter where I roam, I've got you here
with me:

When I reminisce these childhood memories.



Oooh.



To end.
