Lyrics
Two little hands in the sand building castles
And mountains and tunnels and racetracks and dreams
The way that he laughed when he jumped in a puddle
And ran through a fresh pile of leaves
These are the things, these are the things
(Chorus)
These are the things I will always remember
These are the things that I love most of all
When my hair turns the color of winter
I'll keep them with me spring, summer and fall
Searching for treasures and stones we could throw
And an old soda bottle we put in a tree
Making believe we were hunting a bear
And acting as tough as can be
These are the things, these are the things
Chorus
(Bridge)
Holding his hand while we walk through the woods
Pictures appear in my mind
The sights and the sounds of a little boy's dream
Back when those small hands are mine
Father, I love you so
Always know
Chorus (2x)
These are the things I will always remember
These are the things that I love most of all
When my hair turns the color of winter
I'll keep them with me spring, summer and fall
Two little hands in the sand building castles
And mountains and tunnels and racetracks and dreams
