Lyrics

there's been things that pass me by
that I should have grabbed
somethings I held on to
and I wished I never had
like the memories I thought would last me
for ever and a day
there all gone now
they slipped away
(ch)
memories will come, memories will go
oh but I don't know
cause I don't have control
only god will know when your making a memory

I tried to remember when I was a kid
you'd think there'd be a million memories
of all the things I did
ridin' bikes down by the creek
stayin' gone all day long
listening to the whipper will
sing there pretty song
that's only a few things
that I can recall

(ch)

now that I am older
I think I understand
that handful of memories
makes me what I am
there will be things that pass me by
that I can't grab
somethings I'll hold on to
and I wished I never had

(ch)
