Lyrics
Bits and Pieces
C. Glen King and Diana Blair
1at. Verse:
I was cleaning out the attic
Of the house where I grew up
When I came across a cardboard box
Almost hidden in the dust
Saw my name on the cover
In a hand I recognized
Felt my heart begin pounding
When I took a look inside:
Chorus:
There were pieces, Bits and Pieces
From my life mama saved
Just a few tiny treasures
Gathered from my childhood days
I can't believe how the memories
Came flooding back to me
From the pieces, Bits and Pieces of my life
Mama saved.
2nd. Verse:
Found a pair of bunny slippers
That I always used to wear
An ashtray that I made in school
And my old stuffed teddy bear
There were lots of baby pictures
Inside an envelope
And, a birthday card I gave her
With a poem that I wrote:
Chorus:
They were pieces, Bits and Pieces
From my life mama saved
Just a few tiny treasures
Gathered from my childhood days
I can't believe how the memories
Came flooding back to me
From the pieces, Bits and Pieces of my life
Mama saved.
Bridge:
I guess I never realized
How much mama loved me, till today
I just wish that I could thank her
For the things she put away:
Chorus:
There were pieces, Bits and Pieces
From my life mama saved
Just a few tiny treasures
Gathered from my childhood days
I can't believe how the memories
Came flooding back to me
From the pieces, Bits and Pieces of my life
Mama saved.
