Lyrics
I see your image on the photograph I start to cry then I start to laugh The picture’s faded but I still see that impish grin I close my eyes and feel that ocean breeze Oh, that memory how it puts me at ease It’s just the thing to bring me out of this state I’m in And if I live to be one hundred and ten I know I’ll never pass that way again And Darling you know that’s perfectly fine with me God can take away my speech and my sight Take my hearing, that would be all right I pray to Heaven though, He won’t take away My memory As I rummage through this tattered shoe box Its amazing all the things it unlocks Flavors and fragrances of fifty-eight years with you What a blessing in a moment like this To be reminded of our very first kiss Oh sweet memories of when our love was just new Life without you leaves a hole in my heart For all of those decades we were never apart Oh it hurts me, but I know it’s the way it must be Though I miss the way you made me laugh I can hear it through the photograph Oh, your living and breathing inside My memory If I live to be one hundred and ten I know I’ll never pass that way again And Darling you know that’s perfectly fine with me God can take away my speech and my sight Take my hearing, that would be all right I pray to Heaven though, He won’t take away My memory I see your image on the photograph I start to cry then I start to laugh Darling, thank you for that wonderful memory
