| Lyrics: |
I see your image on the photograph
I start to cry then I start to laugh
The picture’s faded but I still see that impish grin
I close my eyes and feel that ocean breeze
Oh, that memory how it puts me at ease
It’s just the thing to bring me out of this state I’m in
And if I live to be one hundred and ten
I know I’ll never pass that way again
And Darling you know that’s perfectly fine with me
God can take away my speech and my sight
Take my hearing, that would be all right
I pray to Heaven though, He won’t take away
My memory
As I rummage through this tattered shoe box
Its amazing all the things it unlocks
Flavors and fragrances of fifty-eight years with you
What a blessing in a moment like this
To be reminded of our very first kiss
Oh sweet memories of when our love was just new
Life without you leaves a hole in my heart
For all of those decades we were never apart
Oh it hurts me, but I know it’s the way it must be
Though I miss the way you made me laugh
I can hear it through the photograph
Oh, your living and breathing inside
My memory
If I live to be one hundred and ten
I know I’ll never pass that way again
And Darling you know that’s perfectly fine with me
God can take away my speech and my sight
Take my hearing, that would be all right
I pray to Heaven though, He won’t take away
My memory
I see your image on the photograph
I start to cry then I start to laugh
Darling, thank you for that wonderful memory
