Lyrics
Sweet Memories
It's a son and father thing.
Something that's been handed down,
without saying a thing.
And it's hard to describe,
Just what it means.
I realize how much of you,
I see staring back at me.
And I recall a time,
When you looked very much like me...
Sweet memories, indeed.
And it seems so long ago.
But the love a father gives a child,
Will never be outgrown.
And words will never tell you,
Just what it means to me.
It's like you knew I was watching every move.
You showed me what a man can be.
And I recall your smile,
As I rocked my own child to sleep...
Sweet memories, indeed.
And now that I got some of my own;
I got my stuff, the car, the home.
I got my wife, my love, my two-year lease,
My e-mail and my cell on me.
Yeah, I even got the similar short leash.
And I wonder through my children's eyes,
If these times will bring...
Sweet memories, indeed.
