Photographs and Memories

Here is my answer to the latest Song Writing Challenge offered by Minnesota Association of Songwriters … Challenge Prompt: “Photograph”
.
.
Time it seems just keeps rambling on
Days turn to night and quickly are gone
Someday we all become history
Photographs and memories that’s all there will be

A hand full of pictures remind us inside
Of those single moments that long past us by
They serve as reminders marking the past
Of the steps that it took to arrive here at last

Photographs and memories from an instant in time
Life goes by no matter how hard you try
Photographs and memories dance through your mind
It’s all that there is, when you leave it behind

As I recall I think that I’m smiling
In most of the picture that I’ve ever seen
I hope you find a warm gentle feeling
If your mind ever wanders past a memory of me

Greg, the lyrics brought tears, silently sliding down my cheek, and a tug at my heart. The words have so much meaning and you found the true meaning of "Photographs" being a timeless picture of our memories. You have a special gift of music and I am so grateful you share with all of us.

Greg this is one of my favorites of all time. Your lyrics really touched me. And that timely harmonica just brings the bittersweet feel of the song. You are amazing!
