Precious Memories Intro Lyrics

The hands on the clock make laps

As I'm adjusting to the norm

Precious moments become memories

But I don't want them to transform

I want to take you to the lake

As the sun sinks in the water

Let you soak in all it's beauty

Like the universe was altered

I want to hear you play piano

Like you did when we were kids

Sing This Little Light of Mine

Something we haven't done in years

I want to sit on a porch swing

Drink a glass of your sweet tea

As you share all that you've learned

Impart your wisdom onto me

I want to hear about your youth

And all the trouble you got in

I want to hear about your twenties

And the games you played as kids

Tell me all about your heartaches

I want to learn from your mistakes

But those chances might be gone

Because now might be too late

I want to tell you how I feel

Tell you how you've changed my life

But now I don't know if I should

I just I can't make up my mind

If I could just go back in time

There's so many memories I'd make

I'd follow through with costly plans

Instead of being a cheap skate

I wanted to take you somewhere new

Somewhere you'd never been before

Somewhere you pictured in your dreams

Somewhere that's like heaven on Earth

I wanted to share that moment with you

And to see your eyes light up

I wanted you to visit paradise

Because it's something you would love

But now I've waited far too long

It's hard for you to leave the house

And even if you could leave home

Would it make a difference now?

I know you wouldn't remember

But I'd cherish it for life

Precious moments always fade

But precious memories survive

So I'll share moments with you

And accept that you'll forget

But I'll always give you time

Even when it's all I can give

I'll give you time and compassion

Understanding and empathy

And if you need someone to yell at

You can take it out on me

Because I know at times it hurts

I know sometimes you see what's real

Even though you can't remember

I know you can still feel

So I'll do everything I can

I'll try my best to ease your mind

And when you don't recognize me

To prevent your pain, I'll lie

I don't want you feeling guilty

You never chose this disease

So I'll do everything I can

To give your mind a little peace

You might think I'm someone else

Or that I'm not around enough

Just know I'll always give you time

Even when it hurts so much

Even when you won't remember

Even if you can't respond

You may not know that I'm there

But I won't leave you all alone

I'll still share precious moments

I'll love you despite the change

I know you won't live forever

But our precious memories remain
