Childhood Memories Lyrics

Fireflies inside of a mason jar.

Acting big behind the wheel of daddy's car.

Playing church around the old piano stand,

You were quite a preacher and oh, we sang so grand.

I remember every night what we would say and do:

"If you've forgiven me, then I've forgiven you."

And now when life begins to get the best of me,

I reminisce these childhood memories.

We built a raft and traveled all around the world,

And stopped for penny candy at the corner store.

You let me fly your kite but when I dropped the string.

I thought my life was over, but Mama rescued me.

When I was just a kid you taught my prayers to me.

Then you turned around and you told me about those birds and bees. Iris Dement - Childhood Memories - http://motolyrics.com/iris-dement/childhood-memories-lyrics.html

Come what may, you've been endeared to me,

Because we share these childhood memories.

Instrumental bridge.

Well, time, it moved so fast; those days are over now.

We've all gone our separate ways, but still somehow,

I often need to telephone and talk to you,

To see if you remember things the way I do.

It won't be too much longer 'til we'll be old and gray,

And winding up our travels here on life's highway.

But no matter where I roam, I've got you here with me:

When I reminisce these childhood memories.

Oooh.

To end.
