The little
boy that I once knew
used to chase sailboats down a stream
And now he's chasing his dream
The little girl that I once knew,
used to pour me a cup of tea
An d now she's walking
down the aisle
Memories flood my soul
and it seems like yesterday
When I first held him in my arms
And if I close my eyes
I can still hear the sound
Of when they first called my name
My name
I can still see their eyes
As they stood in line for a carnival ride
Balloons and cotton candy
These memories make me smile
And if I could have one wish
Oh Lord, it would be
That I would never forget
these days
We'll never forget these days
The tapestry of memories
woven in my heart
Sometimes bring tears to my eyes
The little hands that held on to me
Are now as big as mine
But still they hold on to my heart
And oh, it floods my soul
And it seems like yesterday
When I first held them in
my arms
And if I close my eyes
I can still hear the sound
Of when they first called my name
My name
I can still see their eyes
As they stood in line for a carnival ride
Balloons and cotton candy
These memories make me smile
And if I could have one wish
Oh Lord, it would be
That I would never forget these
days
I will never forget these days
Back yard games
and hide -and -seek
And playing in the rain
I will never forget these
days
You
