Eric Henning - Keep Makin' Memories lyrics

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 j**els 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 pa**ed 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
