Garden of Memories
03:30

Way down deep / Within my heart / You'll find a little garden growin'
There you'll find planted / Memories from the past / Memories that forever will last
Seeds have been sown there / By my dear loved ones / Over my lifetime from the start
Through the years / They've all had a part / In this garden in my heart
Grandma and Grandpa / Mama and Daddy / Neighbors / Friends along the way
Kindly old strangers / Who may have been angels / Left behind blooms I see today
If you really want to know me / Walk with me slowly / Through this place I dearly love to be
Take my hand / We'll walk these old paths / Through the garden of my memories
Come to the garden of my memories / Come and share them all with me
I won't mind / If you shed a tear or two / As long as you don't mind / If I do
This is the most precious place to me / The garden of my memories
The garden of my memories

I recall my mountain Granny / The homeplace where she lived
Little cabin made of stone / Down at the river's bend
She would be so happy / When we'd come up the way
She'd run out to greet us / And she would always say
Welcome home, weary traveler /
won't you come and rest with me awhile
I know the journey's been a long one /
Aren't you glad to know you come the last mile
I'd sit and listen to her / Tellin' stories from the past
From early in the morning / 'Till those evenin' shadows cast
Then we'd watch the fireflies / From her front porch swing
I'd drift off to dreamland / As I'd listen to her sing
Welcome home, weary traveler /
won't you come and rest with me awhile
I know the journey's been a long one /
Aren't you glad to know you've reached your final mile
Last time I went to see her / Found a wreath upon her door
She'd gone to live with Jesus / Know she's home forevermore
As I grow old I miss her more / with every passin' day
When I get to heaven / She'll meet me there and say
Welcome home, weary traveler /
won't you come and rest with me awhile
I know the journey's been a long one /
Aren't you glad to know you come the last mile
I know the journey's been a long one /
Aren't you glad to know you've reached the final mile

Down on Memory Lane
04:25

I remember when / I was just a kid
Used to walk with daddy / When his day would end
He'd tell me 'bout the life he'd built / All the things he'd done
We'd talk about the family / And those fields that he loved
Down on memory lane / He would meet me there
Easin' towards twilight / Out in the evening air
Growin' up that always was / The best part of my day
Walkin' with daddy / Down on memory lane
As I got older / Seemed I never had the time
I was far too busy / To pay him any mind
I'd see him walkin' there / Out on memory lane
I'd drive right past him / Without even a wave
Down on memory lane / He'd be waitin' there
Easin' towards twilight / Out in the evenin' air
It never crossed my mind / There would come a day
I'd miss my daddy / Down on memory lane
Daddy is gone now / He's set aside the plow
Years pass so quickly / Sometimes I wonder how
As I walk the path up to the house / We all once called home
I walk a little past now / And lay flowers on his stone
Down on memory lane / He would meet me there
Easin' towards twilight / Out in the evening air
Oh, how I miss those times / When I would end my days
Walkin' with daddy / Down on memory lane
It never crossed my mind / There would come a day
When I'd miss my daddy / Down on memory lane

Grandma's Old Button Box

I remember this one / It's from Grandpa's work shirt
From his days / Down at B.D. Holt
Never made much money / But the family had plenty
Never knew / Hunger or the cold
I'm goin' through / Grandma's Old Button Box
Each one I admire / Brings back a memory
Sometimes through my tears / I think I see
Grandma goin' through her button box with me
This little white one / Is from the wedding gown
My mother wore / back in '63
Grandma told me stories / how Daddy was so happy
And mama was / Pretty as could be
I'm goin' through / Grandma's Old Button Box
Each one I admire / Brings back a memory
Sometimes through my tears / I think I see
Grandma goin' through her button box with me
This ones from the dress / Grandma wore to Grandpa's funeral
Doesn't seem / all that long ago
Never dreamed I'd be here / Sortin' through old buttons
Wishin' I / Still had her hand to hold
I'm goin' through / Grandma's Old Button Box
Each one I admire / Brings back a memory
Sometimes through my tears / I think I see
Grandma goin' through her button box with me
Grandma's going through her button box with me

Whisper
03:12

Years have gone by / My, where does it fly
The children have grown / Now we're all alone
Now we're right back / Where we started from
Sitting together / At setting of sun
Our love has lasted / through all the years
Through all the heartaches / Tears and the fears
Our love's still strong / Still feels just right
We still shine as bright / As the stars out tonight
Whisper you love me / Whisper you care
Whisper you need me / I'll always be there
Whisper sweet nothings / For me to hear
I'll whisper back / How I love you dear
Out on this porch swing / We reminisce
The ups and the downs / The hit and the miss
One thing's for certain / One thing is true
I'm glad that I've lived / This lifetime with you
Whisper you love me / Whisper you care
Whisper you need me / I'll always be there
Whisper sweet nothings / For me to hear
I'll whisper back / How I love you dear
Whisper sweet nothings / for me to hear
I'll whisper back / I love you my dear

The Perfect Pair
03:46

He reminds her of / Someone she used to know
From not that long ago
If she looks / Deep within his eyes it seems
There's a distant memory
She says you know I'm glad you came /
But please forgive me I just can't recall your name
So he just smiles and he / Strokes her hair
Even though it's almost more / Than he can bear
She might not/ Understand all that much
But she still knows / His gentle touch
And love still makes them
The Perfect Pair
As he turns to go / A tear rolls down his face
He hates to leave her in this place
She takes his hand / And holds it oh, so near
For a moment / Her mind is clear
She says I know you have to go /
But please remember / that I'll always love you so
And she just smiles and she / Strokes his hair
Even though it's almost more / Than she can bear
She might not/ Understand all that much
But she still knows / He needs her touch
And love still makes them
The Perfect Pair
