I'll Treasure All My Mem'ries
of my infant brother who died
Story behind the song
of my infant brother who died
Lyrics
I'll Treasure All My Memories
© Mae Tennisco 1993
1.) Memories take me back in time
to a little baby boy,
With golden hair and eyes of blue,
his Mother's pride and joy.
His chubby cheeks and gentle smile,
to watch him start to grow,
It's tragic when a Mother's child,
must be the first to go.
CHORUS
I'll Treasure All My Memories:
He's an angel now, I know.
God said He had to take him,
and she had to let him go.
2.) Mother's life is growing dim:
her time will soon be done
She has her family around her now,
but she is missing one.
She holds his memory close to her,
I see her wondering when
While at peace and with the faith,
She'll see her boy again.
CHORUS
I'll Treasure All My Memories:
He's an angel now, I know.
God said He had to take him,
and she had to let him go.
CODA
I'll Treasure All My Memories,
of the Mother I loved so.
God said He had to take her
and I had to let her go.
