[hometext] => As you get older memories become as tangible as anything ells.
[bodytext] => Memories And Me The Puppies are sleeping And I smell coffee in the air. It’s snowing outside But I don’t care. I can see them coming From miles away. The memories they have come And they have come to stay. I let them in And we talk for a while They tell me things That make me smile. It’s back in the days When I was a child. When things were simpler And the days were mild. I’m in the front yard And I haven’t a care There’s my little dog That used to be there. We go out back pup, memories and me Where the old tank still stands Deep in the willow trees. I hear daddy calling He’s worried about me I can see that old crooked finger It’s shaking in the breezes. Daddy, pup, the memories and me We go up to the house To have dinner With the family. I can feel this memory a coming as I sit down Tea glasses rattling It’s the Train shaking the ground. Momma’s in the kitchen Putting chicken on a plate She tells me to eat it’s getting late. I see Larry and James And sissy and Paul And yes momma and daddy God knows I love them all. The day is getting late And the sun is going down I have to go back where I started this round. I put pup down And memories tell me It’s not that far back as they can see I stand for a moment And laugh and smile I tell the family I got to go for a while I say it’s time For me to go back home To where my boys are sleeping, All alone.
