The Memories I Hold Lyrics

It's been a while since I've been there on the scene

Over a decade and a half actually, it's been

Days of their youth have passed me by

And I haven't seen them grow. Don't ask me why

Sure, I could just find someone to blame

But it just isn't the point. I'm just glad they came

Days gone by. Memories are lasting

Inspire a song. Inspire a dream

Days gone by. An everlasting

Hope of forever

For my children are my life

Three lovely dewdrops to brighten up the day

That's the way I view them. I love them in every way

Now I'm not saying it's been easy being apart

But thick now are the scars that healed the wounds inside my heart

Now some may say they could have chosen a better way

But my way worked, 'cos I'm still alive today

Days gone by. Memories are lasting

They'll always be my babies. Even when they're fifty, if I'm alive

Days gone by. Inspired to see the morning

They give me cause for breathing in my otherwise painful life

Days gone by. Memories are lasting

Inspire a song. Inspire a dream

Days gone by. An everlasting

Hope of forever

For my children are my life
