Eric Henning - Keep Makin' Memories lyrics

rate me

Verse #1

You only have one first love - mine was years ago.

Sometimes it still feels like yesterday.

'Cause I never will forget how that girl left me layin' low

-or forget what my mama had to say . . .

Chorus:

You know its time to put the past behind you

When everywhere you look reminds you

Of what you had and what you knew

Here is how you start, dear

You open up your heart, dear

And pretty soon you know just what to do . . .

You keep makin' memories - till you can't make anymore

You only have one life to live and that's what life is for

So when your heart breaks into nothing, pull yourself up off the floor

And keep on makin' memories - till you can't make anymore.

Verse # 2

And with every season, ;life moved quickly by

I fell in love again and we had a family

Now my daughters' nearly grown and she's the apple of my eye

And she lost here first love - same as me.

You know I told her . . .

Chorus

Bridge

Mama said that "life was like a treasure

Tho you never really know just what's in store

And memories are the jewels that we measure

And time is our gift to find some more"

Verse # 3

Mom and dad were married nearly 50 years

Then one spring night my mama passed away

Now I know that daddy loved her - and I know he still has tears

And I know he knows exactly what she'd say . . .

Chorus
