About Memories - Billy Gilman

Memories are a great gift
Memories are given to us by God
As a keepsake and a treasure
Memories allow us to call upon the past

*Memories can teach us
About what things are good to repeat
Memories they warn us
About what things should never be allowed to happen again
Memories are a gift to the past
That we hold in the present
To create what can be a great future
Treasure and keep memories
For the sake of
For the sake of
For the sake of life

Memories offer us opportunities to laugh or to cry
Memories offer us opportunities to smile or to reminisce
