Memories (Maddie’s Song)
© 2007 Anthony J. Spinella

Verse:
As I see my life, its changing, I’m getting older and I’m moving along.
I see in you, a time when, I was younger with many things left to do.
And now I see, my memories, becoming you.

Verse:
You remind me, of things I used to do, ways I needed to change.
mistakes I made, had to learn the hard way, I don’t want you my daughter to do the same.
And now I see, my memories, becoming you.

Verse:
I know you’ll do, in time what is right, I hope you have the fight.
And then...., you’ll change.

Bridge:.
See life in a different way.
You’re older with something to say.
Know in time, things will get better.
In my life, I’ll have to let her.

Verse:
Be herself, make mistakes, help her through the bad times, help her see the light.
Let her fall, pick herself up, leaning on her self-esteem, to let her stand tall.
And now I see, my memories, the good and bad.

Verse:
the happy and sad, all I ever wanted, was to see you on your own.
And now I find, I no longer mind, my memories.
